Healthcare for today's challenges

Managing your health isn't always as simple as visiting a doctor's office. For those in regional areas, a check-up could mean a day-long drive to see a specialist in a major population centre. Digital health connects Australia to a healthier future, no matter where you live.

Asking the big questions

An electronic prescription is a digital version of a paper prescription. Your prescriber sends it to you as a token (SMS or email) that you present at the pharmacy to have your medicine dispensed.

Telehealth lets you consult a healthcare provider by phone or video, reducing travel, improving access for regional Australians, and making care more convenient.

Your record is a secure place to store your important health information. You decide what to add to your record and who can access it — putting you in control. Best of all, your record is available wherever you go, whenever you need it. Want to access your record now? You sure can.

Millions of Australians use My Health Record to view test results, manage medications, and share key information with the providers involved in their care.

Connected digital health tools give you and your care team a clearer, shared picture of your health — supporting safer, faster and better-coordinated decisions.
