What the review turns on
Regulatory themes in this market
- Privacy Act
- The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), with the notifiable data breaches scheme and the separate My Health Records regime where that applies.
- APPs
- The thirteen Australian Privacy Principles, mapped clause by clause in the Australian data processing agreement rather than asserted in a sentence.
- My Health Record
- A separate statutory regime with its own penalties. Where a facility participates, the obligations attach to the facility.
- TGA
- The clinical safety boundary: whether the software is a medical device under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 and the Excluded Goods Determination. Pensieve publishes its position rather than leaving it to be assumed.
- Essential Eight
- The ACSC maturity model an Australian security reviewer will ask about by name. Pensieve maps to it and states its level; it holds no assessment against it.
- IRAP
- Not pursued, and the reason is published: IRAP is an Australian government credential and Pensieve sells to private hospitals.
Bound values
What Pensieve’s paper resolves to in Australia
These are not descriptions of the contract. They are the values the contract binds to when it is rendered for this market, taken from the same token registry the documents themselves read from, so a clause and this table cannot disagree.
| Field | Value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Governing law | the laws of New South Wales, Australia | The law the master agreement is construed under. |
| Courts | the courts of New South Wales | Where a matter goes if arbitration is not used or is set aside. |
| Arbitration seat | Sydney, Australia | The legal seat, which fixes the supervisory court. |
| Arbitration rules | the ACICA Arbitration Rules | The procedural rules the reference runs under. |
| Data protection law | the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles | The statute the processing agreement is written against. |
| Regulator | the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner | Who the hospital, as controller or fiduciary, reports to. |
| Breach notification | 72 hours | The controller's statutory clock. Pensieve notifies the hospital inside 4 hours of its own awareness, in every market. |
| Currency | AUD | The currency the order form and every invoice are denominated in. |
| Tax | GST | The indirect tax that appears on the invoice. |
| Standard rate | 10% | Applied unless an exemption or reverse charge is evidenced. |
| Invoice format | Australian tax invoice | The format the hospital's accounts payable system will accept. |
| Document language | en-AU | The language documents are issued in for this market. |
| Stamp duty | Not applicable | Whether execution attracts duty, which, where it does, sits directly on the critical path to cash. |

The global set, which applies in Australia too
Most of the register carries no jurisdiction because it carries all of them: how the platform is built, how it is defended, how data leaves at the end. Every market page sits on top of these. The eight below are the ones a hospital’s reviewers open first.
