For Carers & Family

Helping someone you love means being there when they need you most.

When you're caring for a parent, partner, family member or someone close to you, there can be a lot to keep track of.

Medications. Doctors. Specialists. Appointments. Medical history. Test results. Referrals. Important healthcare wishes.

And sometimes, the person you care for may not be able to tell you everything you need to know.

My Medical Folder gives families one organised place to keep important medical information together, so you can find what you need when you need it.

Is this you?

Perhaps you're the person who...

• Helps an ageing parent keep track of their medications and appointments.
• Accompanies a loved one to medical appointments and helps keep track of what has been discussed.
• Keeps copies of important medical information because you know you may need it.
• Helps someone manage an ongoing or chronic health condition.
• Finds yourself asking, "Where is that report?" or "Which medication are they taking?"
• Has become the person other family members turn to when something needs to be organised.
• Wants to know who to contact and where important information can be found.
• Helps a loved one who sees several doctors or specialists.
• Wants to make things easier for other family members if they ever need to step in.
• Simply wishes there was one place where everything important could be found.

If any of these sound familiar, you're exactly why My Medical Folder was created.

Because caring for someone is easier when you know where everything is.

When medical information is kept in different places, it can be difficult to know whether you have everything you need.

A report might be with one doctor. A medication list might be in a drawer. An appointment card might be on the fridge. Important information may be saved on a phone, or simply kept in someone's memory.

My Medical Folder brings that information together in one structured, organised place.

So when you need to help, you have somewhere to start.

When you need to step in, you'll be ready.

There may come a time when you need to take a more active role in someone's care.

It could be helping them prepare for an appointment. Speaking with a doctor. Going to hospital. Keeping track of changes to medications. Or simply finding an important piece of information when they aren't able to find it themselves.

Having their health information organised means you're not starting from scratch.

You know where to look. You know where important information is kept. And you can feel more confident stepping in to help.

Give your family peace of mind.

Being organised isn't about expecting something to go wrong. It's about making things easier if you ever need to help.

When the information is already there, you don't have to rely entirely on memory or spend time searching through different places. You can focus on the person who needs you.

Make their healthcare wishes known.

If your loved one has an Advance Care Directive, knowing that it exists, and knowing where it can be found, can be incredibly important.

My Medical Folder includes a dedicated sticker that provides a clear visual prompt that an Advance Care Directive exists and should be located.

Because if they are unable to speak for themselves, their wishes shouldn't have to be guessed.

You don't have to be their full-time carer.

You might simply be the daughter who takes Mum to appointments. The son who helps Dad manage his medications. The partner who keeps track of the medical information. Or the family member who lives nearby and knows you'll probably be the one to step in.

You don't need a formal carer title to benefit from having important medical information organised.

If someone you love depends on you to help when they need it, this is for you.

Help make things easier for the people you love.

My Medical Folder gives you and your family a simple, structured way to keep important health information together, organised and easy to find.

Because when someone you love needs your help, the last thing you want to be doing is searching for information.

Their health information. Organised. Ready when you need it.
