As far as I know there are two public sources of data.
First we have the information found here:
My Health Record statistics
The Australian Digital Health Agency publishes a range of statistics about how My Health Record is being used by healthcare provider organisations and consumers. The statistics include information about registrations, document uploads and prescription/dispense documents being recorded.
These are the most interesting from my perspective:
Clinical document uploads

Pathology report

Diagnostic imaging report

TOTAL

Note no mention of access of use of any of the documents.
Second we have this:
Digital Health Data

Who is using digital health?
The Australian Digital Health Agency publishes information about which public and private hospitals are using digital health as well as the latest software products.
My Health Record statistics by Primary Health Network (PHN)
My Health Record is a secure online summary of a consumer’s health information. It allows consumers, doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers to view and share health information to provide consumers with the best possible care.
The index below outlines the data that is currently contained within the Primary Health Network (PHN) - My Health Record Statistics report.

I have extracted a few figures from this on Shared Health Summary (SHS) Uploads:
June 2017 No 66,256 4-25 June.
June 2018 No 80,984 3-24 June.
December 2018 No 72,087 2-30 December.
January 2019 No 72,581 6-27 January.
May 2019 No 150,895 5-26 May.
The statistics from both sources stop in June and May 2019 respectively - now 4-5 months ago with zilch explanation!
Amazingly at 150,000 SHSs per month uploads to give everyone a summary will take 11 years assuming a total population of about 20 million. It will be worn out by then!
So even useless statistics have stopped, and the #myMHR is empty of Share Health Summaries largely, and those that are there are already mostly very old. This is because to get to the claimed 3.1 million at 150,000 a month (the fastest rate) would have taken at least 20 months! A lot of the SHSs must be ancient history.
Easy to understand the bureaucratic secrecy and obfuscation. It’s a dud!

A glance at the Executive Leadership team bio’s and the job ads for ADHA and it is clear this is a ragged federal agency, poorly equipped and long bereft of clinical and technical leadership.
