The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) is the Australian Government statutory agency responsible for national digital health infrastructure and standards. It operates and stewards My Health Record (the national shared health record), the Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service, the National Authentication Service for Health (NASH) PKI, electronic prescribing, and the National Clinical Terminology Service (NCTS). ADHA publishes machine-readable APIs for connecting conformant clinical software to these national systems, centred on HL7 FHIR (R4) alongside legacy HL7 CDA document exchange. Its developer surface spans the My Health Record FHIR Gateway (B2B and Mobile), the NCTS FHIR terminology server and Atom syndication feed (SNOMED CT-AU, AMT, LOINC), and conformance profiles for electronic prescribing. Home market is Australia. Authentication to the national record systems uses NASH SHA-2 PKI certificates (mutual TLS), while the NCTS terminology server uses SMART-on-FHIR OAuth2. Production onboarding is gated behind registration, conformance testing, and PKI issuance; ADHA aligns to the AU Base / AU Core FHIR implementation guides stewarded through HL7 Australia and the Sparked national FHIR accelerator.
