[10] MHR is accessible online for patients, or via approved healthcare programs for practitioners or clinical providers.

The act codified privacy policies that: prevent the use of health record data for employment or insurance purposes, prevent law enforcement from accessing data without a court order, authorised patients to completely delete their MHR, reduced the access of parents to the health profiles of under fourteens, increased the penalty for violating healthcare privacy laws, and amongst others, forbids any other government agency from taking operation of MHR (with the exception of the Department of Health and the chief executive of Medicare).

99% of all pharmacies, 93% of all General Practitioners, and 95% of all public hospitals in Australia are registered to use MHR to access shared information.

[14] my health is a new mobile app that allows people to directly access their MHR profile from their phone, rather than through myGov on a browser.

The app was launched in March 2023 and allows patients to access historic prescriptions, pathology results (7 days after reporting), vaccination history, allergy and reaction information, hospital discharge summaries, and advanced care planning documents.

[16] PCA began rolling out in early March 2023, primarily to GP practices and pharmacies that provide vaccination services.

[16] Authorised prescribers (such as doctors, nurse practitioners, midwives, and dentists) are able to issue digital prescriptions in Australia.
