If a member gives their consent, then it is lawful for anyone to see an individual's My Health Record. This is from the My Health Record legislation. The new bill does not change this: "66 Collection, use and disclosure with healthcare recipient’s consent (1) A participant in the My Health Record system is authorised to disclose for any purpose health information included in a healthcare recipient’s My Health Record to the healthcare recipient. (2) A participant in the My Health Record system is authorised to collect, use and disclose for any purpose health information included in a healthcare recipient’s My Health Record with the consent of the healthcare recipient. 67 Collection, use and disclosure by a healthcare recipient A healthcare recipient is authorised to collect, use and disclose, for any purpose, health information included in his or her My Health Record." A "participant" is essentially a health care provider, or the System Operator (ADHA). 66 (1) says a recipient can get at all data 66 (2) says that, if a recipient gives their consent, all data can be given to anyone. 67 says that a recipient can do what they like with their own information in My Health Record.
