My Health Record uploads

NSW Health Pathology has been provided an extension of time to upload all pathology reports by default to My Health Record.

The extension applies to 31 December 2027.

The Australian Digital Health Agency agreed additional time is needed to enhance current information systems to support full compliance.

Our Clinical ICT and Fusion teams are working deliver these enhancements as part of the scheduled roll-out of the Single Digital Patient Record across NSW.

Your results will con­tin­ue to be sent to your request­ing doctor.

We will con­tin­ue to upload most non-sen­si­tive inpa­tient hos­pi­tal results to My Health Record. Some reports may not be uploaded.

Com­mon or known issues con­tin­ue to affect result uploads for patients who:

  • Are pri­vate­ly-referred (e.g. tests request­ed by GPs or spe­cial­ists out­side the hos­pi­tal set­ting) or
  • Attend NSW Health Pathol­o­gy com­mu­ni­ty col­lec­tion cen­tres or
  • Attend hos­pi­tal out­pa­tient clinics.

While you or your request­ing doc­tor may elect to with­hold cer­tain pathol­o­gy results from My Health Record, our cur­rent infor­ma­tion sys­tems do not yet have this functionality.

To ensure your pri­va­cy and safe­ty, we will not upload results for num­ber of sen­si­tive or exclud­ed test cat­e­gories dur­ing the tran­si­tion to compliance.

For any enquiries con­tact our My Health Record Imple­men­ta­tion Team at [email protected]
