Cyber security

Healthcare services are prime targets for cyber criminals because of the potential value of health data. There are several steps your organisation can take to protect against and minimise the impact of cyberattacks, including:

Training and resources

Murray PHN’s Digital Health Team can provide resources and referral information to assist practices to understand cybersecurity. Email digitalhealth@murrayphn.org.au for support.

Only a third of Australian Healthcare organisations embed cyber security awareness and training into their organisational policies and procedures.

Murray PHN acknowledges its catchment crosses over many unceded First Nations Countries, following the Dhelkunya Yaluk (Healing River).

We pay our respects and give thanks to the Ancestors, Elders and Young people for their nurturing, protection and caregiving of these sacred lands and waterways, acknowledging their continuing cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

We are grateful for the sharing of Country and the renewal that Country gives us. We acknowledge and express our sorrow that this sharing has come at a personal, spiritual and cultural cost to the wellbeing of First Nations peoples. We commit to addressing the injustices of colonisation across our catchment, and to listening to the wisdom of First Nations communities who hold the knowledge to enable healing. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
