What is My Health Record?
My Health Record is a secure digital record of your health information.
Your healthcare providers can check your My Health Record when they need to. Both you and your healthcare providers can add information to your record. You can also choose to have Medicare information added to your record. This includes information from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). You can download your immunisation history statement or COVID-19 digital certificate. Your record can only be seen by you, your healthcare providers and any people you choose to share it with.
My Health Record can help you in emergencies or when you’re travelling. It is accessible anywhere that has internet or by telephone. If you can’t leave the house and are having a telehealth consultation, your healthcare provider can check your My Health Record. Every Australian now has a My Health Record unless they ‘opted out’ before the end of January 2019.
