What is MyMedicare?

MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams. We have introduced MyMedicare as part of an ongoing commitment to strengthening Medicare for all Australians.

What are the benefits?

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.
•  More visits from your GP if you live in an aged care
• More appropriate care for those who visit the hospital frequently (starting mid 2024)
