Protecting Health Professionals from PRODA Scams

Date: November 2025
Category: Advocacy & Compliance

The Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has released a new factsheet warning health professionals about scams targeting PRODA accounts. Scammers have been impersonating government agencies and contacting clinicians via phone, text, email and social media to obtain login credentials, which may then be used to seek Medicare payments they are not entitled to.

The factsheet outlines what to look out for, how to protect your PRODA access, and how to report suspicious activity. Members are encouraged to review this information and remain vigilant.
