This study analyzed the legislative process and main contents of the relevant Australian legislation that achieved success in linking and utilizing personal health information through the My Health Record Act in light of the slow activation of the medical MyData project in Korea, and derived implications. In order to activate medical MyData in Korea, it is necessary to secure the safety of the collection and utilization of health data through separate legislation that reflects the special nature and sensitivity of health data. In order to secure the understanding and consent of the information subjects related to medical MyData, social public discussion is necessary, and regulations for securing the consent of the information subjects should be established so that the right to actual self-determination can be guaranteed. In addition, in order to secure the right to personal health information portability, it is necessary to specify the definition of each type of information and clarify the scope of the information to be transmitted. In order to share and link data held by medical institutions, support policies are necessary to increase standardization and interoperability. In addition, incentive measures that can lead to the participation of medical professionals and medical institutions should be considered. Meanwhile, it is necessary to establish a dedicated organization for the integration and management of health and medical data and establish related governance.
