Responsibilities of GP Practice or Community Pharmacy
The HSE Representative is primarily responsible for signing the HealthCare Location (HCL) Agreement.
While the HCL Agreement does not involve substantial financial outlay, its effect is to establish the ability to use HCL Keys and Certificates. The person selected to be HSE Representative needs to be sufficiently senior to be able to sign agreements of this nature on behalf of the practice or pharmacy where the Site Certificates and Certificates are to be used.
The Duly Authorised Officer has a significant role in the HCL as
the main point of contact for the HSE and is responsible for looking
after the Private Keys and nominating Authorised Users.
(Authorised Users are the only personnel apart from the
DAO that may use the Private Keys.)
Responsibilities of the DAO include:
The DAO needs to be a person of a reasonably senior level. They are responsible for most of the HSE’s obligations under the agreement and control access to the Keys and Certificate.
The DAO also needs to have a reasonable degree of technical knowledge. To properly store and secure the Keys and Certificates, seek renewal, revocation or suspension and to check updates supplied by Medicare Australia.
The DAO is responsible under the HCL CP for storage of Keys and Certificates, managing the use of personal information provided by the HSE, and has ownership of intellectual property rights in the Private Key.
