The Australian Democrats, the Australian Labor Party and privacy groups continue to hold serious concerns regarding the federal government's proposed Access Card, after a re-draft of the legislation was released on Thursday last week.
The federal government has reiterated that the proposed AU$1.09 billion Access Card will not be used as a national identity card.
Legislation for the government's AU$1.09 billion health and social services Access Card will be introduced to parliament in June after a Senate Committee Inquiry's recent rebuke.
Tender negotiations for the AU$1.09 billion Access Card will continue despite the government being forced to review the card's legislation following a Senate Committee report.
Australian citizens will be assigned a unique identifying number to help healthcare providers protect their patients from accidentally being given the wrong treatment.
