Confirming your identity on ProviderHub
When you’re invited to join ProviderHub, you can log in by using either My Health Account Workforce or RealMe.
My Health Account Workforce and RealMe offer a safe, secure, and easily accessible way to log into ProviderHub. When you’re invited to join ProviderHub, we’ll provide a link for you to create either a My Health Account Workforce account or a RealMe account.
My Health Account Workforce
In partnership with Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora, we’re using My Health Account Workforce as one of our secure digital gateways into ProviderHub. You may have already created a My Health Account during the COVID-19 pandemic.
My Health Account Workforce is used by healthcare professionals, businesses, and other related workforces to deliver healthcare services. Non-health professionals, such as taxi services, can also use this to verify their identity.
To create a My Health Account Workforce account, you’ll need:
-
An email address that is unique to you (eg not a shared inbox). If you have already used this email address to register for My Health Account (for personal use) you will not be able to use it again for My Health Account Workforce (for professional use). You can log into your My Health Account and change the email used, to use this email for My Health Account Workforce instead.
-
Your preferred identity document to complete the identity check when creating your account. This could be a:
- NZ drivers' license
- NZ passport
- NZ citizenship certificate
- NZ Kiwi Access Card
- NZ birth certificate (issued after 1 January 2003)
- Australian passport
- Australian birth certificate

RealMe
We’ve introduced RealMe as our newest way to securely log into ProviderHub. RealMe is a service provided by the New Zealand Government, and is used across Government online services as a way to verify your identity. You may have used RealMe in the past to access your IRD account.
To create a RealMe account, you’ll need to verify your identity by entering:
- a mobile number
- an email address that is unique to you (eg not a shared inbox)
Once you’ve created your RealMe account, you’ll be redirected to ProviderHub, where you’ll be asked to enter your unique email address. We’ll then send a code to that email for you to enter into ProviderHub and complete your authentication process.
