Provider Connect Australia: early access for selected general practices

Posted Monday 20 May 2024 | AAPM

AAPM, the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA), and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), have collaborated to present the latest update on the Provider Connect Australia (PCA) service.

The PCA is a new online tool designed to reduce the administrative burden on general practices and other healthcare providers. PCA is operated by the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) and is secure, reliable, and entirely free-of-charge. ADHA and the Department of Health and Aged Care are working together to provide early access to PCA to general practices currently registered with Vaccine Clinic Finder (VCF) Connect.

VCF Connect is a temporary tool that has helped make finding COVID-19 vaccinations easy for many Australians. As part of the transition to post-pandemic operations, practices registered with VCF Connect are being offered assistance to onboard to the new PCA service before VCF Connect is retired on 30 June 2023.

This webinar will help you learn more about PCA, its time-saving benefits, and the steps involved in making the transition to PCA. (Note: practices not registered with VCF Connect will be able to register for PCA as part of the broader national rollout for all health care organisations from July 2023 onwards).
