Steps to take when considering making a disclosure

If you are considering making a disclosure, we recommend that you work through the following steps.

1. Ask yourself why you are disclosing the information

Identify who you are trying to assist:

  • your client (e.g. by disclosing the contents of a medical report as part of proceedings)
  • yourself (e.g. to obtain ethics advice or comply with a legislative obligation)
  • a third party (e.g. to prevent serious imminent harm to them).

This will help you to determine which exception under rule 9.2 applies.
