So you think 'you' own your medical records or you think your medical records are sacrosanct and only available to you and can't be hacked.
Think again.
Do you go to a bulk billing doctor, do you claim on medicare or a private insurer?
Of course you do and so do your medical records and of course they are available virtually on demand to many authorities.
I suspect this is more about devolving data input to closer to a 'user' level to enable doctor and patient surveillance in something a little closer to real time and thus reducing the administrative burdens in so doing.

Forcing a lot of pensioners to change specialist mid stream in treatment is not clinicly inducive to the wellbeing of the patient. In most cases, changing specialist means going back on a waiting list, going back though all the tests, and than, more than likely having to change treatment regime. QLD Health are doing this by refusing to pay the patient travel & accommodation subsidy to your preferred specialist if there is one closer. Private heath funds will be following suit.

But beaurocrats can be fkwits at times.... other times they got no idea of real world issues.... they likely can meet their kpi by saying a couple thousand dollars a year...... while other beaurocrats waste a few hundred thousand dollars come November cuz if they don't spend the money they won't get it all next year

Don't you think that a department employee talked with approving travel claims gets told, ok buster goes sane money so look at these forms and those in country areas who have longer than 100km trips, ar if they got an equivalent specialist closer, if so sent the claims and tell them to go the closer specialist.
Seeing I presume you fill out a paper or an online form, request to get data from there, cuz I don't think the my health record has the smarts to flag your location and your specialist location and then search for specialists that are closest to you. This type of matching is moe easiest to do by human
