Jurisdictions

QiXMind shows clinicians the notices for the service's configured jurisdiction and records which notices were shown. New Zealand is covered nationally. In Australia, state and territory rules layer over the national ones.

Draft notice

The New Zealand and Australian jurisdiction summaries below are drafts marked draft_pending_legal_review. They are short orientation notes for clinicians, not legal advice, and they do not decide whether a legal duty applies in a particular case. Each receipt records the identifiers of the notices shown. Draft notices are for evaluation and synthetic demonstrations; reviewed notices are required before use with real patients in that jurisdiction.

New Zealand

  • Reporting concerns about a child. Reporting to Oranga Tamariki or the Police under the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 section 15 is permissive, not mandatory. QiXMind records the signal and requires acknowledgement and follow-up. It does not report.
  • Mental health law. The Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 applies until the Mental Health Act 2026 commences on 1 July 2028. Compulsory decisions remain the clinician's under the Act.
  • Medical Council of New Zealand, AI in patient care (March 2026). Document AI use, tell patients, obtain and always record consent where required, and keep identifiable data inside the care setting. QiXMind processing currently takes place outside New Zealand (see data location).
  • Health New Zealand guidance on generative AI. Staff must not enter patient information into unapproved AI tools, and AI implementation plans are registered with the National AI and Algorithm Expert Advisory Group.
  • Privacy. Health Information Privacy Code 2020, including the IPP3A indirect collection notice from 1 May 2026.

Australia: national

  • Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Names and common identifiers are pseudonymised before AI processing; processing currently takes place in the United States (see data location).
  • Automated decision transparency, from 10 December 2026. QiXMind is advisory and clinician-reviewed. Services should consider whether their privacy policy needs to describe its use under APP 1.7 to 1.9.
  • AHPRA guidance on AI. The registered practitioner remains responsible, with transparency and informed consent.
  • Young people. A young person with sufficient maturity and understanding can consent for themselves (Gillick competence); otherwise a parent, guardian or other authorised person responds.

Australia: states and territories

Mandatory reporting differs in who must report, what must be reported and the threshold. The safety gate acknowledgement shows the summary for the service's configured state or territory.
