Restricting access to your My Health Record with an access code

To restrict access to your My Health Records, enter your MyHR via the MyGov login, then click Privacy & Access.

1. Scroll down to All Other Healthcare Organisations
2. Click on Manage Access
3. Set your access code (a 4-8 digit PIN or password)

When you see a health care provider at an organisation that does not currently have access to your MyHR, they will ask you for the PIN or password, so make sure you choose one that is easy to remember but hard to guess.

• Don’t use your birthdate
• Don’t use digits from your phone number
• Don’t use your e-mail password

NAPWHA recommends using a free app like BitWarden to store your passwords on your phone or computer. This makes it easier to record a hard-to-guess access code for your MyHR.

If you want, it is possible to change your access code in the future. However, it is not clear if changing your access code removes access for organisations to which you have provided your access code in the past.
