MyMedicare

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.

Evidence shows that seeing the same GP and healthcare team regularly leads to better health outcomes for patients.

When a general practice and their patients register in MyMedicare, the Australian Government will provide additional funding to assist the general practice provided, based on patient care needs.

You can start the registration process in your Medicare Online Account through the myGov app. Practice staff will then accept the registration in the MyMedicare system. Or you can fill out a form provided by the practice for Practice staff to upload into the MyMedicare system.
