Protecting health professionals from scams: How to keep your PRODA account secure
The Australian Government is reminding health professionals to be vigilant against scams. Scammers are targeting health professionals to gain access to their Provider Digital Access (PRODA) accounts. They often impersonate trusted organisations, including government agencies.
They may:
Contact people by phone, email, text message, or social media.
Try to deceive health professionals into sharing personal or business information, such as passwords or banking details.
For more information, including what to look out for and who to contact, please read this fact sheet.
