PRODA - 1800 700 199

To start using My Health Record (MHR) in Gentu, the first step is to register an individual account with Provider Digital Access (PRODA). PRODA is a method of online verification and authentication that provides users with secure access to government online services.

If you already have an individual PRODA account (as most medical professionals will), you can simply navigate to the PRODA website and login. A verified PRODA account does not expire and if you change your employer you will still keep the same account.

Who does this step?

While any person in the practice can have an individual PRODA account, there are a few key roles in your organisation that must complete this step, these being:

  • The designated Responsible Officer (RO) of the organisation
    This is a person that has authority to act on behalf of the organisation in its dealings with My Health Record. For large organisations this may be a CEO or COO, and for smaller organisations this could be a business owner or practice manager.
  • Any designated Organisation Maintenance Officer/s (OMO) of the organisation
    This is a person that acts on behalf of the organisation in its day-to-day administrative dealins with the HI Service and the My Health Record system. This may be the practice manager, any senior staff familiar with the systems and processes, or alternatively for smaller businesses this could simply be the RO.
  • Any medical practitioners
    This is only required for practitioners that do not already have a PRODA account.

If you already have an individual PRODA account, you do not need to complete this step.

Prerequisites

One step of registering a PRODA account includes providing proof of identity. Before getting started, it's a good idea to have your identity documents on hand to help speed up the process. Acceptable evidence of identity documents include:

TWO of the following documents:

  • Medicare card
  • Australian driver's licence
  • ImmiCard
  • Australian passport

AND ONE of the following documents:

  • Australian passport
  • Australian birth certificate
  • ImmiCard
  • Citizenship certificate
  • Australian Visa and foreign passport
  • Certificate of registration by descent

If your current name is different to any of your provided documents you will also need to provide proof of change of name.
