My Health Record puts your health in your hands
By the end of 2018, a My Health Record will be created for every Australian, unless they choose not to have one. Having a My Health Record means important health information – including allergies, medical conditions and treatments, medicine details and scan reports – can be accessed through one system.
During the three-month opt out period which runs from 16 July to 15 October, people who do not want to have a My Health Record will have the opportunity to opt out.
For more information contact the My Health Record Team at North Coast Primary Health Network on 6618 5400. You can also visit the website or call 1800 723 471.
