The Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service Conformance Profile provides requirements for software developers who want to integrate with the HI Service. We are planning to update the conformance profile to support changes made to the Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) web services in the June 2024 HI Service release. These changes enable:

  • using mobile number or email address to search for an IHI
  • updating additional consumer personal details (mobile number, email address, alternate names and date of birth)
  • mandatory Individual Reference Number (IRN) in Medicare ID searches. 

Please refer to the documents linked below:

If you would like to provide feedback on the changes to the conformance profile, please complete the feedback form and return to [email protected] by 24 December 2024.

Please do not include any identifiable or commercially sensitive information in your feedback.

We will send out the consolidated feedback and our responses in February 2025 to those who provided feedback.
