Who can apply for access?

To the test environment:

Health professionals, agencies governed by the Health Information Privacy Code (HIPC) and their software vendors will be given access to the National Enrolment Service (NES) in the Health Identity Platform (HIP) Compliance environment for testing and training after completing the on-boarding process described below.

To the production environment:

Access to the NES is available to Health professionals and agencies governed by the Health Information Privacy Code (HIPC).

Each organisation and user that has access to the NES accepts their obligations under the Privacy Act 1993 and the Health Information Privacy Code 1994 to only access information about patients they are treating and are authorised to do so. NES information may also be accessed when assessing a patient’s eligibility for specific programmes, such as bowel and breast screening.

On-boarding and Implementation

  1. To get started, head to 'Consumer onboarding', over at the digital services hub. You will need to provide information about your organisation, the product you are developing and the API's you want to integrate with.
  2. Once your onboarding request has been approved, you will be provided with the information to start integration. The integration team will be in touch if further information is required.
    • You will receive your credentials, access token url, provided scopes, and the compliance environment endpoint.
  3. Complete your development and testing.
  4. Submit the results of the compliance tests by email to the integration team.
  5. The integration team will issue a compliance test report. Your application will receive certification to be used in production or additional requirements will need to be met.
    • This can be an iterative process, so please get in touch as needed to discuss the compliance testing process.
  6. Each organisation using your application with NHI integrated services must apply individually for access to the production environment (and recieve their own set of credentials) by completing the production form, please email NHI Access.

  • Please allow at least 5 working days for compliance environment applications to be processed.
