PRODA for organisations
Any individual can create a PRODA account and what can be accessed via HPOS then depends on the level of authority the person holds and their qualifications. An appropriately authorised person in the practice can then, through their individual PRODA account, register the organisation for an Organisational PRODA account.
Organisational PRODA accounts are required for accessing many government services, including Medicare site certificates and MyMedicare.
Follow the steps here to create an Organisation PRODA account.
