If you are impacted by the Manage My Health cyber security incident, there is help available.

Manage My Health is now contacting patients who are both impacted or not impacted and still have a Manage My Health account. They are providing those people with a reference number and an 0800 number to call. If you have closed your MMH account or are not able to access it (perhaps you have not accessed it in years) you will be emailed in coming days.

The notifications to New Zealanders will take several days.

The data that was accessed illegally was to the ‘Health Documents’ part of the portal only. The rest of the platform was not breached, and neither is the patient management system at your general practice.

We know this is an anxious time for many. Whether you are directly impacted or not, there is help available. You can contact the 0800 number you have been provided (quote the reference number) and/or contact your general practice team for wellbeing support.

An Access and Choice team may be available in your General Practice. A Health Improvement Practitioner and Health Coach can offer free 30min appointments to support your wellbeing, call your General Practice reception to book an appointment.

If your General Practice does not have an Access and Choice team, ask your healthcare provider to submit a Brief Intervention Service referral for additional wellbeing support. If you are affected by the breach, you will be prioritised for this service.

Over the last week, Manage My Health reported and dealt with a cyber security incident that affected a small percentage of users in New Zealand.
Manage My Health has advised that the issue has been fully contained and fixed following an independent forensic review by international cyber security experts, and the system is currently safe to use.
Manage My Health is now confirming which practices and patients in New Zealand were affected and will contact those individuals directly. If you are affected, Manage My Health will contact you.
We know this may seem alarming, but we want to assure you our primary health organisation in the South, WellSouth, is working to get us up to date information.
Manage My Health has official updates and FAQs at https://managemyhealth.co.nz/faqs-cyber-breach/
The latest statement from Manage My Health, including information about the security fixes and next steps, is available here https://managemyhealth.co.nz/mmh-cyber-breach-update-3-january-2026/
Again, if any of your information has been impacted, the Manage My Health team will contact you directly. Patients can also log into your Manage My Health account to review the information they have stored there, change passwords and set up two-factor authentication.

Further to our update issued on 2 January 2026 regarding the cyber security incident we were notified of on 30 December, Manage My Health is providing
