Adult: Person 19 years of age or older who is capable of making their own health care decisions.
To request access to a child's MyHealth account, you must have your own active MyHealth account. Then you can complete the Request Access to Someone Else’s Account form.
As per the Infant Act section [17], a mature minor refers to one who is able to make their own medical decisions and exercise information rights. If, when a health care provider explains the use of MyHealth to a child and they are able to understand the decisions and consequences, then the mature minor is able to obtain their own access to MyHealth account, without consenting to parental / guardian involvements.
Once a child turns 12 years of age, they are deemed an adolescent and can make decisions about their health information on their own.
You can re-enroll by completing the Request Access to Someone Else’s MyHealth Account form.
