MyMedicare

Through MyMedicare, the Australian Government is making extra funding available to general practices to help them deliver more of the care you need.

From October 1st 2023 MyMedicare is now open for voluntary patient registration.

MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration model aiming to formalise the relationships between GPs and their patients.

Why sign up?

It is voluntary and free to register in MyMedicare.

When you register in MyMedicare, it will notify your general practice that you have chosen them as your regular care team. Additional funding will be available from the government to help them provide the care you need.

MyMedicare patients will have access to:

  • Greater continuity of care with your registered practice, improving health outcomes

  • Longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP

  • Triple bulk billing incentive for longer MBS telehealth consultations for children under 16, pensioners, and concession card holders

  • More regular visits from your GP and better care planning for people living in a residential aged care home

  • Connections to more appropriate care in general practice for people who visit hospital frequently

How do I register?

It’s free and voluntary to register, and registration is open to Australians with a Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card.

  • Fill out a registration form at our practice. By signing the form, you are giving your consent to participate in MyMedicare at the practice. Practice staff will then complete the registration in the MyMedicare system. 

  • Start the registration process in your Medicare Online Account or Express Plus Medicare Mobile app. Practice staff will then accept the registration in the MyMedicare system.

Talk to your regular general practice or GP about registering in MyMedicare, or find out more at health.gov.au/mymedicare
