I have been a software developer in an large organization for more than a decade. I have ADHD and see’s a psychiatrist every 3 weeks. Boss is now demanding access for to all my health records or said he will fire me. He has also locked my Active Directory account (he says temporary) and deactivated my building pass until I sign the document for HR to obtain all my medical records.

I have till Monday (less than a week) to sign the document.

I am located in Australia.

Should I sign the document so my employer has access to all my medical records and all the psychiatrist's notes on me?

TL;DR ADHD Software Developer. Employer demands access to all information in my medical records.

Letter I am forced to sign to keep my job is below:
