Went to a new clinic today. They asked for my residential address and said they don’t use email, just phone number for contact. I’m uncomfortable giving out my real details.

A couple of questions:

  • Can they refuse to treat me if I don’t provide an address?
  • Can they refuse to treat me if I don’t provide a phone number?
  • Can they refuse to treat me if I insist to provide an email instead of a phone number?

Keen to hear what others in Aus do. Thanks.

    Thank you, this is very informative.

    Though I have to argue that email is better than SMS, since SMS messages aren’t encrypted at all.
