By configuring your mobile app notifications, you can make sure you never miss an important update, reminder, or deadline. Here’s how to set up and customise your notifications so you stay informed and organised.
How to update your notification settings

- Open the Ausmed app on your phone.
- Go to Settings in the bottom menu.
- Scroll to Notification Settings under the Account section.
