Security is important to us, as is privacy. The Ministry wants people to have 100 per cent confidence in My Health Account. Through My Health Account, the Ministry of Health uses your digital identity to give you access to your COVID-19 information and information held by other online health services linked to My Health Account. This trust is important so that all people in New Zealand feel comfortable using online tools and can access essential online Health services and information. Why is digital identity important?ĭigital identity gives people confidence that they are the only person who can access their personal information. Over time, other health services will be linked to My Health Account. My Health Account is the digital identity tool that the Ministry of Health has developed to make this possible. Then we can be sure that only the right person can access and manage information about themselves. To make this information available digitally to individual health consumers, we first need to be able to accurately identify each person. The Ministry of Health wants all health consumers to have easy access to their COVID-19 test results and their vaccination status through the internet. Why do I need a digital identity – My Health Account?

As more of our daily activities move online, whether connecting socially or making a purchase, people and organisations need to be able to prove who they are in a safe, secure and easily accessible way.

Digital identity is proof of who you are online.
