HSO Training Environment reminder & HSOP Testing

Information on the Training Environment has recently been refreshed. We encourage you to test early and let us know of any issues as soon as possible to ensure the best chance of us getting them resolved in time for production.

Reminder:  while you can use the same AUSkey to access either portal environment, separate Training Portal user accounts must be established to access this environment.  Please ensure your HSO Administrator has created the necessary accounts for your business to test new HSO components.

Our website is regularly updated with information on Claiming, inclusive of recent legislative and contractual changes; please ensure all claims are compliant with new requirements.

We will continue to communicate project updates via CSPN, if you have questions or concerns on any of the above, please contact us directly on 1800 500 726 or at hearing@health.gov.au.
