United KingdomA cyber-attack on Partnered Health, one of Australia's largest healthcare providers, resulted in the theft of thousands of medical records and personal information from 21 clinics across Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. The breach, which occurred on June 23, involved a 'malicious actor' accessing sensitive data including names, addresses, Medicare details, and medical treatment records. Partnered Health, owned by private equity firm Quadrant, reported the incident to authorities such as the Australian Cyber Security Centre and law enforcement. The company has sought an interim injunction to prevent unauthorized use of the data. This follows a broader trend of increasing cybersecurity threats, with data breach notifications to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner reaching a record high in 2025.
