Provider Connect Australia™ (also known as PCA™) is a free national service from the Australian Digital Health Agency that lets healthcare provider organisations update their business information in one place. You can then choose to share updates with your connected business partners, reducing duplication and streamlining notifications.
Keeping details current helps patients find the right care and supports accurate information across the health system. For example, once you opt in, updates can flow through to the National Health Services Directory and healthdirect Service Finder, as well as other selected partners.
What can you keep up to date:
Depending on what you publish and which partners you connect to, updates can include items like opening hours, contact details, services offered, clinician availability, vaccine availability and fee details.
