Explanatory Statement
Health Records (Privacy and Access) (Fees) Determination 2012 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2012–262
made under the 
Health Records (Privacy and Access) Act 1997, s 34

This Determination of Fees revokes and replaces the Determination of Fees DI2011-308, notified on 7 December 2011.

The Determination comes into effect on 1 January 2013 and reproduces Determination DI2011-308 except for:

•	Fees have increased by Wage price Index (3.5% rounded); and 
•	the date of effect.

The fees schedule balances the importance of ensuring that fees are not a barrier to accessing health records with the need to ensure service providers receive reasonable reimbursement for the cost of providing access to the health records they hold.
