After reading through the requirements above, (and receipt of the NASH PKI Test Certificate for Interaction Model 4 apps) the next step is to register your organisation and app.
Create an account for your organisation on the Agency's form submission platform
The Portal Operator Registration Form is hosted on the Agency's form submission platform and in order to access the Portal Operator Registration Form you must create an account – Click here to create an account.
Portal Operator Registration Form
In this form you will need to provide details about your organisation and proposed app, such as your nominated Operator Officers, the app’s intended purpose and the way it intends to interact with the My Health Record system. You will also be required to verify the identity of all nominated Operator Officers and your Portal Operator Registration Form will undergo review by the System Operator. Once approved you will progress to the next step in the connection process. Note, you must be logged into the Agency's form submission platform to access the form.
- Submit the Portal Operator Registration form here.
Receive Test Kit (including test data, and access credentials)
After your Portal Operator Registration Form has been approved, you will be provided with a Mobile Test Kit. Included in the kit are test cases and test data to assist with testing your app integration with the My Health Record system. Along with your Test Kit, you will receive unique credentials for accessing the My Health Record Test Environment.
For any questions about the process, please contact [email protected].
3. Develop your app
Now that you can access the Test Environment, you can begin developing your app so that it can connect with the My Health Record system, using the API Mapping, API Specifications and API Release Notes provided in the Welcome Pack.
Developer Guides - FHIR Gateway - Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources
