A malicious actor accessed Partnered Health data on 23 June 2026, compromising 21 clinics across Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. Stolen records include Medicare numbers, private health insurance details, treatment notes, and pathology results. The provider disclosed the breach on 15 July 2026 — more than three weeks later — and declined to reveal how many patients were affected.
