Health Services Act 1988

A person who provides information to a SAPSE review panel is not personally liable for the giving of information, in good faith, to a SAPSE review panel in the reasonable belief that the information was necessary for the purposes of the SAPSE review.

Any liability resulting from the giving of information that, but for subsection (1), would attach to the person attaches instead to—

the health service entity or entities that appointed the SAPSE review panel; or

if section 128P(3) applies, the health services entities that would have appointed the SAPSE review panel but for the fact that they were unable to agree on the appointments.

Without limiting subsection (1), no liability for defamation is incurred by the person because of the giving of information by the person to a SAPSE review panel in good faith.
