Your health information belongs to you.

The health care system keeps information about people's health so it can be used to give good health care.

In Australia, your health information is kept and shared in the health system called My Health Record in MyGov.

This is done in a way that protects your privacy.

You can also learn ways to manage your own health information. It can help you get better health care.  

Remember, you have the right to decide who you share your health information with. You can keep some health information private.
