Introduction to My Health Record in general practice

The Purpose of this Resource

General practices are legislatively obligated to provide My Health Record training to staff members before they are authorised to access My Health Record.

This resource is an ‘education kit’ that general practitioners and other practice team members can work through as a self-directed learning activity to familiarise themselves with:

  • how to use the My Health Record system accurately and responsibly
  • the legal obligations on healthcare provider organisations and individuals using the My Health Record system
  • the consequences of breaching those obligations.

It is anticipated that the content will take approximately one hour to work through.

GPs can self-report this activity for the equivalent of 2 RACGP CPD points per hour of learning.
