What information will be held by the Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service?
Your IHI will be associated with a limited amount of identifying information such as, name, date of birth, and sex. In order for your IHI to be disclosed by the HI Service, a healthcare provider will need to provide sufficient identifying information to uniquely identify the individual. This may include a name, Medicare card number or DVA file number and date of birth. The HI Service will only release your IHI when there is an exact match. For more information on the HI Service visit the Department of Health and Ageing website.
