Governance arrangements

HealthConnect is managed under the national e-health governance arrangements established by the Australian Health Ministers’ Advisory Council as a joint Australian, State and Territory Governments’ project.

The Australian Health Ministers Advisory Council (AHMAC) whose members are the chief executives of Australian, State and Territory Government departments of health, has responsibility for HealthConnect.

The national implementation of HealthConnect is the responsibility of the National Health Information Management Principle Committee (NHIMPC) which is an AHMAC sub-committee. NHIMPC obtains stakeholder advice in consultation with the Australian Health Information Council (AHIC).
