Moving from My Health Record to LabFlow
Australia's national record, signed into through myGov, holding pathology and imaging reports with the person deciding what is stored and who may access it. Last checked 7 November 2026. Check My Health Record yourself, because a page that says something newer than this one is right.
The side-by-side comparison, with LabFlow's own limits, is on the LabFlow site. This page is about making the move.
Before you move
- Choose My Health Record if you live in Australia, because pathology and imaging reports are uploaded by the providers themselves and you manage access in one national place.
- Choose LabFlow if there is no national record where you are, and you want the laboratory's system and your own account to be the same record from the start.
What you would give up, going by My Health Record's own pages:
- Share one section only (one test, one report). A share opens one whole report. There is no grant for the ECG only or the X-ray only.
The move, step by step
There is no way to bring a record across. LabFlow imports nothing from My Health Record or from any other system.
- Keep what My Health Record holds. Download what it lets you download and keep it somewhere of your own. The pages we checked do not say how long it stays available after you leave.
- Find a laboratory that runs LabFlow. The directory lists those that have published a listing. LabFlow's portal only holds results from laboratories on LabFlow.
- Open the patient portal once a laboratory has linked your account to your record and released something.
- Share a report, and stop sharing it when you choose. A share opens one whole report. There is no LabFlow ID to give a laboratory, no access request to accept and no sharing section by section.
