My Health Record in general practice

Last revised: 18 Apr 2023

My Health Record in general practice

My Health Record is an electronic summary which may contain some of a patient’s key health information. This allows information to be shared securely between the patient and registered healthcare providers involved in their care, to support improved decision making and continuity of care. 

Every person known to Medicare or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) automatically had a record created for them in early 2019, unless they chose to opt out or previously cancelled their record. Individuals can permanently delete their My Health Record at any time and can re-register for a new record if they decide they want one in the future.
