Did you sign access to it as part of your employment contract? Sorry to say but theres a chance it's all legal as you may have consented to it.

And there's a chance that such contract terms, even if present, are not enforceable in Australia.

There is legal precedent as grounds for dismissal for failing to attend a doctors appointment for the purposes of a medical evaluation for an employer or also failing to disclose medical records to an employer in Australia if it was part of your employment contract.

Definitely enforceable without a doubt - and many industries have it as part of a standard employment contract, e.g Aircraft pilot.

Also as part of fairwork legislation to prevent being fired as a result of extended sick leave it actually requires disclosure of the condition.

There's a mismatch between the summary, which says the employer request all records, and the actual letter, which is only for work-related records.

I failed to read the actual letter before posting. My apologies.
