Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie has met the Attorney-General to discuss a court's "extraordinary" decision to release her medical records and has warned other veterans could be placed in a similar situation.

Last month, Senator Lambie told Parliament she had paid $30,000 in legal fees fighting a decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to release her records to a News Corp journalist.

The independent senator said the journalist went on a "fishing expedition" at the AAT, trying to access documents relating to her lengthy compensation battle with the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA).

"I have just had to spend $30,000 in legal fees fighting Rupert Murdoch, who exploited a loophole in our DVA appeal system so that he could sell newspapers with all my private medical records splashed across their pages," she told the Senate last month.

Senator Lambie was able to have large portions of her medical records redacted but she is now seeking assurances from the Government that other veterans are not exposed through the AAT process.

She said the decision by the tribunal's then deputy president Major General Gregory Melick to release the documents in the first place was extraordinary, particularly given that he is a member of the Defence Force.

"How can serving senior military officers, as is deputy president and Major General Melick, be involved in judicial decision-making about former members of the military?" she asked.

"This is, at the very least, a very clear conflict of interest and, therefore, possible corruption, which I hope the Attorney-General will address."

The ABC understands the Senator sought a meeting with Attorney-General George Brandis to determine whether she had been "wronged" and whether there was a case for her to seek compensation for the $30,000 in legal fees.

Speaking after the meeting, Senator Lambie said Senator Brandis acknowledged there was a problem and agreed to raise her case with the AAT president.

She said her key concern was not the money, rather ensuring the AAT legislation was tightened.

"I think one of the bigger issues we were in there to speak about was; if this is happening to me this will happen to every other veteran out there," she said.
