Digital health services

My Health Record

My Health Record provides you secure access to your key healthcare information whenever you need it. You can also view your COVID-19 dashboard, including boosters and test results. Discover My Health Record help and support.

Electronic prescriptions

An electronic prescription is a safe and convenient alternative to paper prescriptions. You can choose to receive an electronic prescription from your healthcare provider, or you can request for it to be sent to your Active Script List (ASL).

Telehealth

Telehealth enables you to have a doctor’s consultation from your home via video call or phone. Get access to healthcare by phone or video call, wherever you are.

My Health Record

We're highlighting how Australians with diabetes can access their diabetes management (HbA1c) test results in My Health Record, now available to view immediately after upload.

What is digital health?

We have one of the best healthcare systems, but there are still opportunities for improvement. Better use of technology can help improve the healthcare system for providers and help people live healthier lives, with greater control and better access to their information.

Progress is being made to connect Australia to better healthcare with My Health Record, electronic prescriptions, and telehealth.
