My Health Record
for the community
My Health Record is a secure online summary of your health information such as prescriptions, vaccinations, allergies, and results of pathology tests. You control what goes into it, and who can have access.
Talk to your doctor
Uploading information to your My Health Record is not automatic. It is up to your healthcare provider, such as your GP, to upload health information to your record.
Next time you visit your GP, ask whether they use the My Health Record system. If they use My Health Record, you can:
- Discuss whether you want them to automatically upload your future health information to keep your My Health Record updated.
- Make decisions about what types of information you want on your record, now and into the future.
- Discuss whether to add a summary of your medical history to your record.
