Personal information such as home addresses, private health insurance details and Medicare information has also been compromised.<\/p>\n Partnered Health clinics in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and the ACT also had data breached. The extent of damage caused by the cyberattack is yet to be gauged at five clinics \u2013 three in WA and two in Victoria \u2013 as Partnered Health continues to investigate what data may have been extracted.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile there is no direct evidence that patient records have been viewed, as a precaution we have written to patients from these clinics to make them aware of this and provide details of steps that can be taken to protect their information,\u201d a Partnered Health spokesperson wrote in a message to customers on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u201cWe understand that this sort of news can cause concern. We sincerely apologise for any distress this may have caused our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n Partnered Health, established in 2013, has 60 clinics across Australia. It describes itself as bringing together \u201cmany of Australia\u2019s most trusted names in healthcare\u201d, with a \u201creputation for excellence\u201d as one of the country\u2019s \u201cleading healthcare providers\u201d.<\/p>\n The cyberattack has been reported to the Australian Cyber Security Centre, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and law enforcement to investigate the origins and circumstances of the breach.<\/p>\n Partnered Health has obtained an interim injunction order in the NSW Supreme Court to prevent the accessed data from being used or published. It\u2019s unclear how many patients have been affected by the data breach and what particular data may have been stolen.<\/p>\n A Home Affairs spokesperson told this masthead the federal government was aware of the cyberattack, and that its \u201crelevant agencies are engaged\u201d. Partnered Health have been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n Partnered Health clinics exposed by cyberattackChampion Drive Medical Centre (WA)Dromana Family Doctors (VIC)Joondalup City Medical Group (WA)Kealba Family Practice (VIC)Rockingham City Family Practice (WA)Blackburn Road Medical Centre (VIC)Broadway General Practice (NSW)Bundall Medical Centre (QLD)Cardiff Medical Centre & Skin Cancer Clinic (NSW)Castle Hill Family Doctors (NSW)Chancellor Park Family Medical Practice (QLD)Dural Medical Centre (NSW)Mornington Family Doctors (VIC)Noosaville Seven Day Medical Centre (QLD)North Canberra Family Practice (ACT)Park Beach Family Practice (NSW)Park Orchards Family Practice (VIC)Sans Souci Medical Practice (NSW)Templestowe District Medical Centre (VIC)Wentworth Avenue Family Practice (ACT)Wyong Family Practice (NSW)<\/p>\n Be the first to know when major news happens.
