HI Service conformance profile update – invitation to information session

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 and invite you to an information session on Tuesday 26 November at 2pm (AEDT) to explain the proposed changes. This will be followed by a four-week feedback period.

Summary of changes

The updated conformance profile supports changes made to the Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) web services in the June 2024 HI Service release, which 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. 

It also includes editorial updates to improve clarity and address stakeholder feedback.

Information session registration

Please register for the information session using this registration link.

We will email the draft conformance profile and feedback form to attendees after the information session.
