The patient health information portal ManageMyHealth says a cyber security breach involving unauthorised access has been "contained".
The service connects patients with clinicians and allows people to access their medical records.
Chief executive Vino Ramayah said the incident was still under investigation and the company was working with authorities and independent cybersecurity specialists.
Meanwhile, he said he wanted to assure users, customers and stakeholders that the portal took the protection of health information extremely seriously.
ManageMyHealth's current priority was ensuring the integrity and security of its systems, Ramayah said, but updates would be shared as they were available.
An earlier statement on its website said the breach involved "unauthorised access to our systems". It said the matter was under active investigation and containment steps had been taken.
