Digital health – Supporting better care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Healthcare professionals are all aware of the significant health challenges faced by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Keeping key information up-to-date and ensuring it is uploaded to My Health Record can help to support better care for all patients, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Having this information available in My Health Record can reassure people if, for example, they need to travel for sorry business.
