Opting out from external health practitioner access to The Viewer

The form below allows you to opt out from the service that enables external health practitioners to securely view your Queensland Health clinical information in The Viewer.

By choosing to opt out, authenticated health practitioners will no longer have access to your data in The Viewer (they can continue to obtain your healthcare information through current processes, e.g. discharge summaries).

You can choose to apply this to some or all health practitioner types.

If you have any trouble completing this form, please reach out to 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) and request to be connected to the Health Provider Portal Access to The Viewer team.
