In order to meet the Australian Government Cyber Security requirements, all health provider organisations must hold a NASH certificate. National Authentication Services for Health (NASH) certificates allow organisations to access the Healthcare Identifier (HI) Service and My Health Record. This allows organisations to utilise digital health services such as electronic referrals and electronic prescriptions.
As of 24 March 2024, the Healthcare Identifiers Service (HI Service) and My Health Record system no longer accept connections from NASH SHA-1 or Medicare PKI certificates and a NASH SHA-2 certificate is now required. NASH certificates are valid for 2 years and should be renewed before the expiry date. To find out the type of certificate you hold and when your NASH Certificate expires, your Organisation Maintenance Manager (OMO) must log in to their individual PRODA, and proceed as follows:
- Click Go to service button on the HPOS tile, then click My Programs.
- Select Healthcare Identifiers and My Health Record tile
- Click Healthcare Identifiers – Manage existing records.
- Select My Organisations and then the Certificates tab
You will be able to see your current NASH Certificate details.
