Consumer FAQ
Who will have access to my information?
Information stored on the HPV
Register will be held confidentially and the privacy of each individual
is protected by law. Vaccination providers may be authorised to access
an individual’s details if required for health care or research
purposes.
Non-identifying information (that is, information that does not
identify you or your daughter) may be provided to Australian, State and
Territory Governments and researchers for policy-making or research
purposes with appropriate approvals. No-one will be able to identify
individuals from the information provided by the Register for this
purpose.
In the future, personal and HPV vaccination information held on the National HPV
Vaccination Program Register may be cross-referenced with information
from the pap smear, and cervical cancer registers that are currently
maintained by states and territories. This will allow the government to
monitor the effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing cervical cancer
in Australia.
