My Health Record: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Understand how this digital system stores your medical history and immunizations to help you manage your health more easily.
My Health Record is a digital system that keeps a centralized summary of your medical history and immunization records in one secure place.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to all Australians. It is intended to provide a consistent way for your health information to be managed digitally.
What you get
The main benefit is a centralized digital summary of your medical history and your immunizations. This allows your medical information to be stored in one digital location rather than being scattered across many different providers. Having this summary can be helpful for ensuring your medical background is clear and accessible.
What it costs you
Using this service is free. You can access your information through myGov.
The catch to know
While you have the option to opt-out of the system, keeping an active record is considered very useful for when you are traveling, as it ensures your health information remains accessible.
