Do you upload results to My Health Record?
NSW Health Pathology routinely uploads most non-sensitive pathology results to My Health Record.
However, we are currently unable to upload outpatient and private patient results due to system issues related to patient consent.
The Australian Digital Health Agency has now removed this consent requirement and introduced new legislation for non-sensitive pathology results to be uploaded by default.
These changes are expected to transition into effect throughout 2026.
We’re working as quickly as possible to roll out new systems to comply with the change and ensure all our patients and treating teams have consistent access to results in My Health Record.
Are you a requesting clinician?
We also provide your patients’ results via:
- HealthLink electronic results
- PathWorks mobile app
- eMR (NSW Health clinicians only)
- HealtheNet (NSW Health clinicians only)
- fax
- hard copy
