Frequently asked questions
About HCX.AU
What is a managed HCX.AU short link?
It is a concise HCX.AU address configured and maintained as a redirect to an approved destination page. The service is managed rather than offered as an unrestricted public link shortener.
Can the destination be changed later?
Yes. An approved destination may be updated while the HCX.AU short link remains unchanged. This can also allow an associated QR code to keep working without being reprinted.
What can an HCX.AU link connect to?
Suitable destinations may include appointment pages, public health information, service directories, approved forms, professional resources, campaigns, surveys and secure portal entry pages.
Who can request an HCX.AU link?
Australian healthcare providers and organisations in associated industries may enquire. Every requested link, name and destination is subject to review and availability.
