Julian’s Key – My Health Passport 

A helpful tool to have your health information in one document  

Julian’s Key is a patient/carer-controlled communication tool designed to improve communication and empower people with disability, their families and carers to be more involved in their healthcare. Julian’s Key is primarily designed for people with intellectual or cognitive disability but could benefit anyone who might have difficulty communicating in a health and hospital setting.

Julian’s Key was developed by West Moreton Hospital and Health Service and is named after a young man with disability who passed away in Ipswich Hospital in 2011.

Julian’s Key includes key information – in order of critical, important and useful – in a format that can be shared quickly and easily with carers and health staff. It is available as a mobile application, an editable PDF and a paper-based form.

It provides health staff with information to provide person-centred healthcare, such as if they need help to eat or drink or how they communicate using a traffic light system.

The Julian’s Key mobile application will be available to download for free from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store soon.

The Julian’s Key Health Passport is being trialled in Logan and Ipswich Hospitals for 12-months from August 2019 to help address communication barriers and improve health experiences of people with disability accessing health services.
