It’s about target visability. Your GP is a small target amongst thousands of small targets. The probability that someone will go after it is low.

However a centralised government database with the names and health records of millions of Australian citizens? That’s a high profile/high reward target that will almost certainly be under constant cyber attack from all over the world. Not to mention the risks of what the government may decide to do with the data in the future.
