Cyber Security for Healthcare Clinics & Medical Practices Australia
Health service providers were Australia's most reported data-breach sector in 2025.
The scale of the problem
Health service providers accounted for 225 notifiable data breach notifications in 2025 nearly 1 in 5 of every OAIC breach notification that year, the highest of any named sector. In the most recent half-year period, health remained the leading sector at 18% of notifications, with the average cyber incident during that period affecting just over 10,000 people.
The risks specific to your practice
- Patient health records are among the most sensitive and valuable data types attackers target
- Practice management and booking systems as an attack entry point
- Ransomware disrupting patient care, not just back-office operations
- Compliance obligations around health information privacy
