Link Individual Healthcare Identifier service

The Healthcare Identifiers Service (HI Service) is a national system for identifying individuals, healthcare providers and organisations, using a healthcare identifier. You need an Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) to link the HI service to your myGov account. If you don’t have one you can apply for one through the service.
