Disclosing genetic information to at-risk relatives: new Australian privacy principles, but uniformity still elusive
Recent reforms to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cwlth)1 have led to a single set of Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), replacing the former National Privacy Principles (NPPs) and Information Privacy Principles (IPPs).
