Using a patient’s image, likeness or name without express permission can be a risky move which is why it’s always important to ensure you get written consent up-front.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are considering purchasing a Patient Imagery Consent Form, here’s what you need to know:
What’s included in a Patient Imagery Consent Form?
A patient imagery consent form is a form of express consent, and considered a vital step if you use a patient’s image, likeness or name in your practice (whether it be medical or allied health practice). It clarifies how images will be stored, used and who will have access to them.
How will this document benefit me as a practice owner?
Using a patient’s image, likeness or name without such express permission can put your practice at risk, so we always recommend seeking written consent up-front.
But the patient told me it was okay?
Verbal consent is one thing, express permission is another. This avoids the ‘he-said, she-said' scenario, which isn’t fun for anyone! Written consent up-front can save all parties a headache.
Is the document easy to use and understand?
Yes, the document is designed to be user-friendly and easy to understand.
Can I customise the document to suit my needs?
This online document will be tailored specifically to your medical practice.
What else do I need to be aware of that I may not have thought about?
Getting valid consent from patients does not automatically mean you can freely use their picture however you like. Only certain types of photographs can be used, in certain ways, so as to not contravene any of AHPRA’s Advertising Guidelines or the National Law. We offer an Advertising Framework which protects your practices from the risks associated with breaching the AHPRA Guidelines and National Laws - you can find this here.
