MyMedicare registration is now open

MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration system that aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.

By registering as a patient of your chosen general practice and selecting a preferred GP, additional funding will be available from the government to assist your primary care team to deliver the care you need. It is voluntary and free to register in MyMedicare, and registration is open to Australians with a Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card.

By registering in MyMedicare, you may benefit from Longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP. Further registration benefits for patients will continue to be added over time as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to strengthening Medicare.

For more information about MyMedicare and to find out how you can register as a patient, please visit the Australian Government MyMedicare website.
