2 How to Get Started

To get started with cdmNet, there are just a few simple steps to follow:

If you are a GP, Practice Nurse, Practice Manager or otherwise working in a Primary Care Practice, there are four additional steps:

Install cdmNet Desktop onto your computer desktop (if not already installed) (see cdmNet Desktop User Guide);
Set up your cdmNet username and password on your desktop to allow automatic login (see see cdmNet Desktop User Guide);
Set up your provider preferences in cdmNet (see Chapter 7 Preferences); and
Accept the Service Agreements for GPs to agree to pay any cdmNet fees (see cdm.net.au/serviceagreementterms).

2.1 Register with cdmNet

To register with cdmNet, go to cdm.net.au/register.

Fill in your details in the boxes provided. A red dot indicates that some fields are mandatory.

A valid method of contact must be provided so that cdmNet can send you notifications when necessary.

After clicking Continue, you are prompted to set up a username and (depending on speciality) password. By default, cdmNet generates a username for you based on your details. You can, of course, change your username if desired. Remember your username and password for future reference.

You must agree to the Terms of Use before continuing. You can view these terms in a new window by clicking Terms of Use.

After you click Continue, cdmNet sends you a welcome message.

If another provider from your practice or organisation subsequently registers, cdmNet may prompt them to select a matching organisation (provided that they have entered the details correctly). However, for security and privacy reasons, cdmNet does not automatically add them to the organiation; they will need to ask someone within the organisation (such as yourself) to add them.
