Thousands of Canberrans have had their medical information exposed in major data breaches affecting three ACT general practitioners' clinics.
North Canberra Family Practice in Belconnen, Wentworth Avenue Family Practice in Kingston and Ochre Medical Centre Tuggeranong have reported leaks of client data in two separate cyber security breaches.
A Canberra cyber security expert and patient of one of the clinics has called for stronger standards to be legislated on health clinics to prevent more privacy breaches.
