澳大利亚退伍军人事务部因未经同意向研究人员共享退伍军人的医疗数据而面临集体诉讼1。根据澳大利亚信息专员办公室的调查，该部门违法向大学研究人员共享了退伍军人的个人信息，包括姓名和用药情况1。专员办公室认定这一行为对退伍军人的隐私造成了干扰1。
涉事的MATES研究项目是一项长达20年的研究计划，已于2024年因隐私问题被关闭1。多名退伍军人对该部门的"20年间大规模常规共享"医疗记录行为提起了集体诉讼，要求获得赔偿1。该部门随后更新了伦理程序，要求告知潜在研究参与者其现有或未来权益不会因研究参与而受影响1。
Australian veterans have launched collective legal action against the Department of Veterans' Affairs over the unauthorized sharing of their medical data with university researchers 1. The dispute centers on the MATES research project, a two-decade study that closed in 2024 following privacy breaches 1.
An investigation by the Australian Information Commissioner's Office found that the department unlawfully disclosed veterans' personal information, including names and medication details, to research staff without obtaining consent 1. The commissioner determined that this conduct interfered with veterans' privacy rights 1. The department has since updated its ethical procedures to ensure that potential research participants are informed their existing or future entitlements will not be affected by their participation in studies 1.
The veterans' class action seeks compensation for the large-scale routine sharing of medical records spanning the 20-year period 1.
