My Health Record a potential life saver for Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
29 August 2018: Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds can benefit by My Health Record playing a vital role in helping manage their healthcare and protecting them from medical misadventures which can occur due to communication breakdowns.
My Health Record is an online summary of a person’s key health information. It allows people to share and control their health information with doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers from anywhere, at any time.
