This instrument ensures both the *My Health Records Regulation 2012* (which covers system operations and data handling) and the *My Health Records Rule 2016* (which sets access requirements for healthcare providers) will now sunset together on **1 April 2026**.\n\n**Why this matters:**\n*   **For patients and healthcare providers:** There is no immediate change to your rights or how the system operates—the same rules remain in force.\n*   **For the government:** Aligning the dates allows both instruments to be reviewed, consulted on, and potentially remade simultaneously, reducing red tape.\n\nThe declaration itself automatically disappears (self-repeals) the day after the instruments expire."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/legislation-my-health-records-instruments-sunset-altering-declaration-2022","history":"/api/acts/legislation-my-health-records-instruments-sunset-altering-declaration-2022/history","analysis":"/api/acts/legislation-my-health-records-instruments-sunset-altering-declaration-2022/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/legislation-my-health-records-instruments-sunset-altering-declaration-2022/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/legislation-my-health-records-instruments-sunset-altering-declaration-2022/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/legislation-my-health-records-instruments-sunset-altering-declaration-2022/documents"}}
