Public concern has already seen the deadline to opt out of the new MyHealth Record scheme extended to the end of January.
If a person doesn't explicitly opt out of the scheme by the end of January, they will be included in it.
Supporters of the scheme say having an online summary of people's key health information will help them get better treatment.
But opponents say the scheme has too many security and privacy risks.
The federal government says the scheme will help Australia's health system become better connected, and lead to better health outcomes for people.
It says people can even delete their record at any time, or stop some information being added to their record.
But there's been a large amount of public outcry about possibly security vulnerabilities in the scheme.
