Health monitoring report
A person who commissions health monitoring must take all reasonable steps to obtain a report from the registered medical practitioner as soon as practicable after the monitoring is carried out.
The health monitoring report must include the following information:
    * the name and date of birth of the worker
    * the name and registration number of the registered medical practitioner
    * the name and address of the person conducting the business or undertaking who commissioned the health monitoring
    * the date of the health monitoring
    * any advice that test results indicate the worker may have contracted a disease, injury or illness as a result of carrying out the work that triggered the need for health monitoring
    * any recommended remedial measures, including whether the worker can continue to carry out the work
    * whether medical counselling is required for the worker.
That person must also give a copy of the report, as soon as reasonably possibly after obtaining it from the medical practitioner, to:
    * the worker
    * the regulator, if the report contains:
       * any test results that indicate the worker may have contracted a disease, injury or illness as a result of the work that triggered the need for health monitoring
       * any recommended remedial measures, including whether the worker can continue to carry out the work
    * all other persons conducting a business or undertaking who have a duty to provide health monitoring for that worker.
Reports must be kept as a confidential record for at least 40 years after the record is made and identified as a formal record for the particular worker. The report and results must not be disclosed to anyone unless the worker has provided their written consent. However, if the person was releasing the record under a duty of professional confidentiality, the worker's written consent is not required.
