What is Manage My Health?
What is Manage My Health?
Manage My Health is a secure online tool that puts your health information in your hands. It gives you a single, convenient place to see the health records sent from your doctor. This means you get secure access to your personal health information whenever you need it, from any device, anywhere in the world.
What does Manage My Health offer?
Manage My Health provides a convenient and secure window into your health record. Your GP practice decides which information to share to your portal, helping you stay informed about your health.
Your doctor will discuss with you what information may be helpful to you and then decide what information is sent to your electronic health record.
Your online Personal Health Record can be made up of:
Depending on what your GP practice makes available, your personal health record can include:
Notes from your doctor’s consultations.
Lab results, after they have been reviewed.
A list of your prescribed medications.
Your immunisation history.
A record of your diagnosed allergies and medical conditions.
Reminders for any future appointments your doctor has requested (recalls).
In addition to this you will have the ability to do the following:
- Secure email: This feature allows you to securely communicate with your doctor and vice versa. Please note the decision to allow you to send emails to your doctor is their decision. Doctors must decide how best to cater to this extra requirement of their patients. Some doctors will be quicker to embrace this option than others.
- Journal: Create an online journal where you could enter goals and record your progress, or simply record information you would like to discuss with your doctor next time you see them. You also have the ability to make a journal entry private which means only you are able to access this information.
- Calendar: You are able to create calendar items to help remind you of things coming up such as any appointments or programs you may be involved with. In the near future, we will provide you the option to be reminded via a text message to your mobile phone.
- Community forums: You are able to create your own discussion topic or simply join in with existing discussions. If you have any experience or wisdom, other patients will be very grateful if you were to share your experiences.
How is this good for me?
Manage My Health is designed to save you time and give you more control over your healthcare. By using the portal, you can:
Save Time: Book available appointments online 24/7 or request repeat prescriptions without needing to call the clinic during busy hours.
Stay Informed: Get your lab results sent directly to your portal as soon as your doctor has reviewed them, so you know the outcome sooner.
Enjoy Convenient Access: Securely view your important health information anytime, anywhere you have an internet connection.
Who should use Manage My Health?
Manage My Health is for everyone, even if you rarely visit your doctor. Having your key medical information from your GP—like diagnosed allergies or important health conditions—securely accessible in one place gives you peace of mind. It ensures you’re prepared for any situation where having that information handy could be critical.
How much does it cost?
Access to your Manage My Health portal to view your health information is free. While the portal itself is free, your medical centre may charge for certain services you request through it, such as ordering a repeat prescription. These are the same fees you would typically pay if you called the clinic directly. Any chargeable services are clearly marked, and you always have the choice whether or not to use them.
Can I contact my clinic through Manage My Health?
In most cases, yes, you can send a non-urgent message to your clinic using Manage My Health if they offer the option to send a secure message.
- Click on the “Compose” icon that is on your homepage and send a secure message to your practice.
- If you need urgent medical attention, dial 111 immediately.

As per the Care of Children Act 2004 (New Zealand), access to an individual’s health records is restricted once they turn 16. Therefore, Manage My Health automatically unlinks primary accounts (parents/guardians) from secondary accounts (children).
If re-linking is required, please contact your health centre to request it.

Why am I unable to send an email to my doctor?
It is a Doctors choice whether to allow emails to be sent to them. Or if a patient is using emails inappropriately the doctor can blacklist you, which prevents you from sending them emails. For many doctors this is a new concept which they must get used to and understand how this functionality can be incorporated into their current work practices.
Why can I not find a print function?
At this stage we have not implemented a print function expect for the Lab results. In the interim if you wish to print contents of ManageMyHealth we suggest you use the print screen function on your keyboard and past this into PAINT to allow you to print it. Please be very careful with your printouts if they contain your health information.
Why am I not able to view my latest lab results?
Most test results are shared with you. Your GP needs to review and file the test results before they are sent to your account to view. Please be aware this may take reasonable time. If you have any questions about your test results, please contact your Health Centre by sending a secure message by clicking on the “Compose” icon that is on your homepage or call your clinic.
My doctor does not have any appointments available for me to book?
You will need to phone your Health Centre to be provided with options if all the available appointments are booked or your usual Doctor is not available.
Why can I not order a medication?
Only Medications marked by your Doctor as long term are available to order. However, if there is a medication that you have had before and want to order, type this in the area for sending through a note to the Doctor when ordering your other Medications.

Security & connection
Will you sell my information?
No, we do not by any means sell your information.
How do I check WHO has accessed my information?
ManageMyHealth maintains a comprehensive access log every time you or an authorised registered health professional access your ManageMyHealth health record. You can access this access history anytime and it is never deleted. If you have a query as to why authorised registered health professional has accessed your information you should contact them directly.
How do I know if my information is protected when travelling over the Internet?
We use a digital certificate from VeriSign which ensures the information is protected by encryption. This feature is active when the path bar is shaded Green and http//: is displayed as https//: the ‘s’ signifying encryption is active. Please note the Green feature is only available if you are using the lastest version of your chosen web browser. When using the website you may notice the Green shade disappears, this means the information is not encrypted such as reading news articles or community forum. Because this is not your personal information we do not protect this information. Applying encryption does take further time to display the information, hence when it is not necessary we do not use encryption so the information is displayed as quickly as possible.
What are the computer and Internet connection requirements?
We recommend you use the latest Internet Browser from Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox as this will offer you the best performance and security using 256 bit encryption, which is the highest commercially available encryption strength in use today. However if you have an older version of a browser we can still guarantee 128 bit encryption using the latest digital certificate from VeriSign, which we provide for your protection. 128 bit encryption is currently the NZ health sector standard. For the best experience, performance & protection we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer version 9.0 or later.
Who else can access my ManageMyHealth information?
Your GP and clinic staff already have access to your electronic medical records. However, once you activate your ManageMyHealth account, only you have access to your health information. You can choose to authorise access to a family member or caregiver, however you are responsible for what information you share and who you share it with. If you have any security concerns about your medical records, please change your password or let your Health Centre know.
Can other people send emails to my ManageMyHealth inbox?
ManageMyHealth emails do not work like normal email. They are not sent over the Internet to a defined location. Instead the emails sent within ManageMyHealth do not leave the ManageMyHealth system. ManageMyHealth emails have been specifically designed to allow you to communicate with your doctor(s) securely, so potentially sensitive emails with your doctor cannot be read by others. Only registered ManageMyHealth users can send & receive ManageMyHealth emails.
