We are serious about protecting the privacy of our patients.

Information about patients will not be released without the patient’s or their guardian’s permission.

Patients, visitors and staff can only be filmed or photographed with their express written permission.

Our priority is the health, well-being and privacy of our patients and their families.

For these reasons all media visiting our facilities must have prior approval from the media team.  Please ensure you contact the media team should you wish to visit one of our facilities.

All requests for non-news media filming and photography in any ISLHD premises must be referred to the media team for consideration and approval. Approval is at the discretion of the Media and Communications Manager in consultation with the General Manager/s and/or Chief Executive and the District's operational requirements and the welfare and privacy of our patient and their families will be prioritised. 

A minimum of 14 working days is required for all requests. Fees may apply. Consideration may be given for not-for-profit and health related organisations.

The applicant must be able to provide a copy of the Certificate of Currency for public liability insurance. 

Please contact the media team for more information.
