My Health Record

My Health Record commenced on 1 July 2012. Like many similar initiatives around the world, it is a secure, online summary of an individual’s health information. It can be viewed by treating healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists across Australia. MyHealth Record is a secure, electronic record of a patient's medical history, stored and shared in a network of connected systems.
