You don’t have to do anything to start benefiting from having a My Health Record. Your healthcare providers can add key health information to it and use as required to assist in your care. Next time you see your doctor, ask them to add your information to your My Health Record. By the end of 2018, a My Health Record will be created for every Australian, unless they choose not to have one.

If you don't want a My Health Record, you will be able to opt out of having one created for you. You have from the 16^th July until the 15^th October to opt–out. Click here to find out more about My Health and your options to opt-out.
