      DoB is considered sensitive personal information in the Australian Privacy Act.

      Other identifiers might be street number or last three digits of phone number.

          Firstly, I’m a weirdo and my preferences aren’t indicative of “what makes people comfortable” generally.

          Secondly, in some cases DoB is really just a code number. Over the last year I’ve started providing an incorrect DoB at new clinics I attend. It’s never caused any problems. As long as I can provide the right code number when asked it has served its purpose.
