It’s the second healthcare organisation I work for and we can’t use Hubspot because it hosts data in the US and EU only. I urge HubSpot to consider an option to host data in Australia.
Australian healthcare providers including aged care, NDIS and specialised clinics are required to store identifieable data in Australia:
-
Australian Health Digital Agency
Requires healthcare providers to ensure their cloud service provider stores data in Australia. This ensures legal protections and allows Australian authorities to provide assistance.
-
Data privacy regulations
Australian legislation requires certain healthcare organizations to maintain strict data privacy.
-
Data sovereignty and residency requirements
Health data has some of the strictest data sovereignty and residency requirements in Australia.
