I wonder what they have to hide? If the myHR was such a raving success I am sure we would be hearing about it, and not deafening silence!

The ADHA bored are there for no other reason the the APS template says they have to be, same reason why they have a chief medical officer. As someone this week made reference to ADHA does indeed stand for A Department of Health Agency. It is pretty shabby all the same.
I wonder what they have to hide?
They have nothing to hide. They have done nothing and will continue to do nothing until the Department of Health realises what they are getting for their money - nothing.
Here's a possibility...
The ANAO review, which Health knows all about - there is no way they will not have been consulted and/or informed of the findings - is highly critical of the whole organisation and the My Health Record project.
Health has only one option (they can't immediately kill the thing, that's too politically damaging) - have a review and simultaneously stop all initiatives.
The review will say - scale back My Health Record and return it to opt-in.
If a person's record is not updated by their GP or by them in say, two years, the registration is cancelled and the record deleted. That way they can save face and let people who really want a record have one.
After a suitable time, surprise, surprise, there is so little interest, the whole thing is cancelled - well after the next election.
Meantime, because of the impending publication of the report, ADHA is acting like a frightened hedgehog - it's curled itself up into a tight ball, hoping nobody will notice it and doing nothing to make things worse.
I have no inside information, this is pure guesswork.
The 'newly' appointed Board Members did themselves considerable reputational damage by joining the Board. I warned of this at the time. The reason why I declined the invitation to join the Board.
Still, no papers published, so I went looking for items they must release such as Senate orders specifically List of Agency Contracts. You would expect August 2019 to be transparent and accessible as required. But no, sadly the link is broken. So either something dodgy is in there or a CEO who is appoint to oversee supposedly critical clinical content can’t even foster enough care factor to operate a simple website.
I then found the 2019/2020 Corporate Plan. Not sure who they have in there but the state of the ”corporate plan.” speaks volumes about the poor state of ADHA.
@3:26 PM the link to the PDF is broken, but other previously published reports from 2018 are still available. Very shabby through any lens. I agree the Corporate Plan is a bit of a mishmash and misses the mark. It is as much as what has been omitted from the plan as it is that has been incorrectly included, IMHO.
Well if it is fixed in the next day or two, we will at least know how the ADHA monitors its systems. Such an error (and it has been broken for quite some time) demonstrates the ADHA leadership understands little about digital tools or what you should invest in to operate in a digital environment.
Maybe the Agency COO and CFO are finding their positions a bit overwhelming. As Taxpayers, we deserve a higher level of professionalism and service.
