... researchers accessed the United States Department of Veterans Affairs 
electronic healthcare records (EHRs) to investigate how SARS-CoV-2 reinfection 
adds to the risk acquired after the first infection. ...

This is an example of electronic healthcare records being used for a public benefit. Can Australia's records be used in this way? Have they been set up to enable this, and is the system working at all?

I gave approval to have a national health care record, but have so far seen no benefit from it. When I caught COVID-19, the hospital treating me didn't have any of my medical records, not even what I had typed into their state system's COVID-19 website the day before. After I recovered, the federal government sent me a letter saying I was now eligible for another booster, even though the hospital said I should not for a few weeks.
