OAIC – My Health Record Access Policy Template and new eLearning module
August 16, 2022
A new My Health Record security and access policy template is now available to assist healthcare providers to comply with their obligations under Rule 42 of the My Health Records Rule 2016.
The policy template was developed by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), in collaboration with the Australian Digital Health Agency. Input was also provided by clinical peaks, Primary Health Networks and advisers from a range of healthcare settings and disciplines.
The Agency has also developed an eLearning module to accompany the security and access policy template, with input from advisers from various healthcare settings and disciplines. The e-Learning module is designed to support healthcare providers in using the policy template by outlining the practical steps that should be followed when drafting a security and access policy for their organisation.
Rule 42 of the My Health Records Rule 2016 requires healthcare provider organisations to establish, communicate and enforce a written security and access policy in order to register, and remain registered, with the My Health Record system.
The policy template is available on the OAIC website, and the eLearning module here.
Education sessions on implementing a My Health Record policy in your organisation are also available here.

The core of this is this para:
“Rule 42 of the My Health Records Rule 2016 requires healthcare provider organisations to establish, communicate and enforce a written security and access policy in order to register, and remain registered, with the My Health Record system.”
As I read it I do wonder just how hard compliance would be – but at least you have been warned!

Gee just think how bad Australia's healthcare system would be if we didn't have My Health Record.
Sorry about the black humour but it's about time someone gave the Federal Government Department of Health a good talking to. Their performance over the past ten years (and probably longer) has been pathetic. They are so far out of touch it just isn't funny. Maybe they should stop making lawyers Health Ministers for a start.
Service Australia veterans run ADHA, and they will line programs up to the forward estimates, resetting every four years with a five-year plan. The ADHA will continue with high staff turnover and APS seasonal migrations ( upper management never stays in portfolios for longer than 3-5 years). This ensures no continuity of thought or knowledge, thus requiring new upper management, a reset period of adjustment, new strategy, new funding to implement, and new plans to be paused as focus turns to treasury submissions for the foreword estimates …. It is why we have a royal Commission into robot debt - more than one from ADHA will be called on
