@shtrom@piaille.fr I think about this occasionally, but haven't kept up with the news on it. Last I recall, I did my best to ensure I didn't have a MyHealthRecord (still not certain I succeeded), and resolved to avoid opening the site just in case it automatically created me one that I couldn't expunge.
We've now got this MyMedicare thing https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/mymedicare/about, which seems to me to be a similar thing that's less risky and privacy-invasive, but again, I'm out of the loop and haven't taken the time to dig into either of them properly of late.
