Destruction of Medical Records

Confidential and Compliant Patient Files & X-Ray Shredding

Protecting patient privacy isn't just about maintaining trust—it's a legal requirement under the Australian Privacy Act. When medical files reach their retention limits, secure and confidential disposal becomes critical.

Our specialised medical records destruction service provides healthcare facilities with compliant, traceable document disposal that safeguards sensitive information from unauthorised access.

From family practices to multi-facility hospital systems, we handle the complete lifecycle of healthcare document disposal. Our GPS-monitored vehicles arrive on your schedule, removing outdated files with chain-of-custody documentation at every step.

Once processing is complete, you'll receive an official Certification of Destruction confirming secure destruction, giving you audit-ready proof of compliance.

X-Ray Destruction & Medical Imaging Disposal

Medical imaging materials require specialised handling and destruction that standard office paper shredders can't provide. For example, X-ray films contain silver and other materials that demand environmentally responsible processing.

Our X-ray destruction service manages these unique requirements whilst ensuring patient information remains protected throughout the disposal process.

Whether you're clearing space in radiology archives or retiring diagnostic imaging from MRI and CT scan systems, we process all formats securely. This specialised service extends to ultrasound printouts, radiographic films, and digital media containing protected health information, all handled with the same meticulous security standards.

Comprehensive Patient Records Destruction

We’ll adapt to your facility's workflow, whether you need one-time purges of archived materials or scheduled recurring collections. We serve medical centres, day surgeries, aged care facilities, dental practices, and hospitals of all sizes.

Every collection includes secure containerisation, GPS-tracked transport, and documented destruction—ensuring your practice maintains compliance with privacy regulations whilst protecting patient confidentiality at every stage.

The team at Corporate Document Destruction (CDD) are fantastic. We have used their confidential bin service for over 5 years! They are always reliable and very accommodating with special deliveries of extra bins and special pick-ups. Alex is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. It's nice to be able to pick up the phone and speak to the team and trust your request will be sorted. Great service and team! Thanks.

Angela, HR, The University of Melbourne

I haven’t had a chance until now to say thank you very much for all your years of service to our office.  Nothing was ever too much trouble for you.

Anna Bencic, Worksafe Victoria

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your assistance with this project. It was quite demanding and required a fairly big effort from yourself the rest of your team.

I believe I will be contacting you again in perhaps 2-4 weeks with a view to destroying additional tapes. As the previous task was fairly large, I will endeavour to reduce the quantity per day of destruction, so we may have another 2 trips to plan. Nonetheless, as soon as we are ready, I’ll be in touch.

Thank you Alex!

We had a huge amount of document destruction to be undertaken and imagined it would take days but in fact it was completed in a matter of hours! The process was so easy and Alex is a pleasure to deal with. Very reliable, efficient and trustworthy with sensitive documents. Your service is absolutely fantastic- thank you again

Melbourne Spine Institute

Thank you for the quick and friendly service from the team at Corporate Document Destruction. I was very impressed with the fact that when I called I spoke directly to a human being (no call centre!), and they made my pick up their highest priority. Thanks again!

Meri H., CEO, Digital Marketing Company, Melbourne CBD

Thanks to Alex and the team at Corporate Document Destruction for their excellent and efficient service. We have a home office and had accumulated a few plastic tubs of documents that were too sensitive and personal to be thrown in the recycle bin. After talking with Alex he organised a bin to be delivered, the driver helped us load all our documents into the secure bin and took it right away. I never realised this would be so easy.
