Community practice

A professional introduction that travels to the visit

Community and home-visit practitioners can present selected professional credential information by HealthID QR code or link—before the appointment or at the door.

At the front door

Give the recipient useful context before care begins

A clinic badge may not help when the workplace is someone’s home. A HealthID card gives the practitioner a portable way to present information they have chosen to share, while leaving the recipient free to complete their own checks.

What a recipient can review

The information available depends on the card’s disclosure level.

  • Person: compare the displayed name, photograph and profession with the visitor.
  • Credentials: read the status and expiry information shown for relevant records.
  • Card state: confirm that the shared card is active, rather than expired or revoked.

A simple handover

Share only what the visit calls for

The practitioner chooses the card type and supplies the active link. The recipient should read what is shown rather than assume that omitted information has been checked.

  1. Before the visit

    Send an active link

    Where appropriate, share the card through the normal appointment or service channel so the recipient knows what to expect.

  2. At arrival

    Present the QR code

    The recipient can open the same browser-based card and compare the visible details with the person at the visit.

  3. For a decision

    Use the official source

    Check the relevant public register and follow any employer, funder, provider or service-specific process.

When currency matters

Treat the status as last reviewed, not real-time verification

HealthID can show the result of an earlier credential review. Registration or other circumstances may have changed since then. For a current decision, check the relevant official register and complete the identity, service and safeguarding checks that apply.
