Explanatory Statement
Health Records (Privacy and Access) (Fees) Determination 2013 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2013-312
made under the 
Health Records (Privacy and Access) Act 1997, s 34

This Determination of Fees revokes and replaces the Determination of Fees 
DI2012-262, notified on 10 December 2012.

The Determination comes into effect on 1 February 2014 and reproduces Determination DI2012-262 except for:

•	Fees have increased by Wage price Index (3.0% 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.
