Overview
Review of the My Health Records legislation
We're seeking feedback on how we can improve the legislation that underpins the My Health Record system.
This is part of a review to improve the legislation, including to:
- better support patients accessing multiple health care providers
- reduce duplication of treatment
- avoid adverse health events
- actively involve patients in their own health care.
Professor John McMillan AO who leads the review welcomes input from all interested parties to understand to what extent the Act (including its rules and regulations) is supporting the operation of the My Health Record system.
This review is required under the My Health Records Act 2012.
Your feedback will help Professor McMillan develop a final report to the Minister for Health, due to be delivered by December 2020.
