Update once. Share everywhere. Reduce practice admin.
Provider Connect Australia (PCA) is a free, secure online service developed by the Australian Digital Health Agency to reduce administrative burden for healthcare providers.
It acts as a single source of truth for your practice and practitioner details, so your chosen business partners automatically receive updates whenever anything changes. No duplicate data entry.
How PCA works
You update your practice or practitioner details in PCA
PCA securely shares those details with business partners you consent to
Your information stays consistent and up to date across the system
Who should use PCA?
PCA is particularly useful if you are:
A private allied health practitioner or practice
Responsible for managing or updating practice details
Wanting to keep practice details consistent across directories and referral networks — with business partners automatically notified when anything changes
Opening a new location or changing contact details.
You don’t need advanced IT skills or a new clinical information system to use Provider Connect Australia.
Why PCA matters for allied health
Allied health professionals often juggle multiple systems, limited admin support and changing practice arrangements. PCA is designed to make that easier.
Key benefits:
Less admin – update details once and your chosen business partners automatically receive the changes
Fewer errors – consistent information everywhere it’s used
Secure and trusted – national infrastructure built for healthcare
Future-ready – supports broader digital health participation.
