Information Sharing

Process for Requesting Information

Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme and Child Information Sharing Scheme

East Grampians Health Service have developed a process for Information Sharing Entities (ISEs) to request relevant information under the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS) and the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS).

From 19th April this applies to EGHS who has been prescribed as Information Sharing Entities by the State Government.

To request information from EGHS under either scheme, complete the Family Violence and Child Information Sharing Request form and email it to iss@eghs.net.au

Copies of this form can be found here: Family Violence and Child Sharing Request – MR530

Please note: The onus is on the requesting ISE to seek and gain consent where required under Legislation. Specific detail must be provided as to why information is being sought under FVISS or CISS.

Any confidential information provided under FVISS or CISS should be collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the Family Violence Protection Act 2008, the Child Safety and Wellbeing Act 2005, the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2004 and /or any other relevant state or Commonwealth law.
