Authorised software systems

Software systems that are conformant with Provider Connect Australia™ (PCA™) (e.g. practice management systems) are registered with PCA™. You can authorise your local installation of conformant software to access PCA™ on behalf of your organisation.

You can authorise your practice management system (allied health), clinical information system (GPs and specialists) or dispensing systems for pharmacy at the participating organisation, subsidiary organisation or HI organisation level (PO, SO or HI).

Summary of steps to authorise software systems:

From the Your Organisations screen, click on the name of the organisation (next to the PO, SO or HI icon).
Click on the Authorised software systems tab.
Click on the Authorise Client System button.
Enter the client ID for the system that is to be authorised.
