HealthEngine Pty Ltd has been ordered by the Federal Court to pay AU$2.9 million in penalties, following allegations it shared patient information and skewed its reviews.

The Federal Court found the Perth-based company engaged in misleading conduct in relation to the sharing of patient personal information to private health insurance brokers and published misleading patient reviews and ratings. 

HealthEngine provides a booking system for patients and an online health care directory that lists over 70,000 health practices and practitioners in Australia. The directory allows patients to search for and book appointments with health practitioners.
