I think you've heard that the government will soon implement the new electronic health records called 'My Health Records'. Simply put, it is an electronic health records for all your health data (including sensitive issues like mental health treatments and all other conditions you may wish to remain private) that will be set up for every Aussie including children and to be held and owned by the government. Remember, your records are now only known by your doctor. It is confidential between you and your doctors. The issue at stake is privacy and security. Who can access these records? The government says, your doctor and other health care professionals, the police and other security agencies (with a court warrant) can access all your health records. The government is silent if this information will be shared by all the government departments and what happens if you are seeking an employment with these government departments or in the health sector like hospitals, public or private? Once your records becomes the ownership of the government, they could use it as it pleases them without your consent. If you have or will have a medical condition, it will lead to a discrimination of employment. The government will link your health data, your census data and your telecommunication meta data (the last one is sticky-google).
Let me share with you a warning issued by the Flight Safety Group of VIPA, (they represent pilots from all over Australia) to all their pilots, "Do not participate in the My Health Record”. They warned them because their records will be accessed by the airlines and may result in prejudicing themselves.
Everyone (including the children which will affect them negatively in the future) have an option to Opt-Out from this health-record now, but you have a very limited time because the opt-out option will end on the 15th of November, 2018 (8 more days). If you didn't opt-out by this date, you could never opt out.
What to do if you want to opt-out for you and your family?
