My Health Record for pregnant mums and newborns

Having your records in one place is invaluable when you have multiple care providers. Your record can help you and your healthcare providers keep track of your health information throughout your pregnancy and beyond.

You can also register your newborn for their record, so you can monitor their growth and development. It's just like a baby book, but instead of cute photos, there’s a picture of their health.

You can add the following to your child's record:

My Health Record for children

Key health information can be securely kept in your child's record and accessed at any time. You can track your child's:

By adding more information, you and your healthcare providers can have a more complete view of your child's health, which will be invaluable as they grow.

My Health Record during the golden years

Your information is available wherever you go so you don’t need to remember test dates, medicine names or dosages, or carry documents with you. It gives healthcare providers a more complete picture of your overall health, and in an emergency, your record can be the lifesaving voice that speaks for you if you can’t.​​​​​​

Who can help you manage your record?

Advance care planning and goals of care​​

Have your say on your care and make sure your wishes are taken into consideration.

It's important that your family know your preferences, that carers, doctors and nurses are informed and clear on your health and care wishes. If you're ever in an emergency or unable to communicate, having this information available means it can be easily accessed in a timely way.
