MyMedicare
What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a new Commonwealth Government initiative. It is a voluntary registration system that allows you to formally register with us as your usual general practice and preferred GP.
Benefits
It is voluntary and free to register in MyMedicare.
MyMedicare patients will have access to:
- greater continuity of care with your registered practice, improving health outcomes.
- longer Telehealth consultations with your GP.
- connections to more appropriate care in general practice for people who visit hospital frequently, from mid-2024.
Eligibility
You’re eligible to register in MyMedicare if you have a current Medicare card or Dept of Veteran’s Affairs card and have attended two face-to-face visits at our practice in the
previous 24 months.
People who are facing hardship will be exempt from all eligibility requirements. This includes people experiencing domestic and family violence and homelessness.
Parents/guardians and children can be registered at the same practice if one of them is eligible and registered. A parent/guardian must register a child under 14 years and
provide consent on their behalf. Young people aged 14 to 17 years can register and provide consent without a parent/guardian.
