The organisation is yet to be named, according to National Cyber Security Coordinator Michelle McGuinness, who says the Australian Federal Police is looking into the breach.

A commercial health information organisation has had its data breached in a "large-scale ransomware" attack.

"I am working with agencies across the Australian government, states and territories to coordinate a whole-of-government response to this incident," Lieutenant General McGuinness said in a statement on social media platform X. In October 2022, Medibank revealed hackers accessed the personal data of all customers across its Medibank, ahm and OSHC brands, affecting millions of Australians.
