About the My Health Record expansion program
The Australian Government has legislated that a My Health Record will be created for all Medicare and Department of Veterans’ Affairs card holders in Australia by the end of 2018, unless they choose not to have one.There will be a three month opt-out period commencing 16 July 2018, when consumers can inform the Government of their choice to opt out of the My Health record system.
This workshop will provide you with the essential information about My Health Record and what you need to do to prepare for the opt-out participation.
