Who has access to the iHealth Care+ Directory?
Any health related organisation or private practitioner/organisation delivering patient care who has a need to communicate with GPs, specialists or other health professionals about their patients will have access to the Directory. The Directory will provide a single trusted source of health care professionals contact details working in private practice in Queensland.

How do I update my details if they change?
