What are the benefits?

It’s voluntary and free to register for MyMedicare.

When you register for MyMedicare, it will notify your local GP clinic that you have chosen us as your regular care team.

You will have access to:

improved continuity of care with your registered practice
increased access to longer MBS telehealth consultations for kids under 16, pensioners, and concession card holders
longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) telehealth consultations with your GP.

Further registration benefits will continue to be added in time.

Who can access MyMedicare?

You’re eligible to register for MyMedicare if you have:

a Medicare card or Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Veteran card
two face-to-face visits with your local clinic in the previous 24 months.

If you’re facing hardship, you will be exempt from all eligibility requirements, including if you are experiencing family and domestic violence and homelessness. Sing out to your local clinic in person or by phone and we can take you through registering for MyMedicare. Your story will be respected.

If you live in a residential aged care home, you don’t need to physically attend a clinic to complete your registration. Sing out to your care team and they can connect you to your clinic to register for MyMedicare.

If you’re a parent or guardian, your child can be registered at the same clinic as you. A parent or guardian must register a child under 14 and provide consent on their behalf. This registration will have to be completed at the clinic. Young people aged 14-17 years can register and provide consent without a parent or guardian.

How do I register?

You can register now and select your preferred GP at your local clinic.

There are two ways you can register your local clinic in MyMedicare – either using your Medicare Online Account in your MyGov account, or the Express Plus Medicare Mobile app. You then follow the steps:

Select Register for MyMedicare, then Start.
Under search for your practice, select Your practice, then Next. If you’re having trouble, read the helpful hints.
Select Your preferred GP, then Next.
Complete the voluntary About you information, then select Next to move to the next question or to skip a question.
Select Submit registration, then follow the prompts to complete your registration.

What if I need extra support registering?

You can ask your local clinic to start the registration process.

You can also fill out a paper form and give it to your local clinic. Ask your clinic to print it out for you to fill in.

Can I change or withdraw my registration?

Yes, you can! If you’re registered with a local clinic, you have the flexibility to change your preferred GP at any time. Meeting eligibility requirements also allows you to switch to a different registered clinic, but you can only be registered with one clinic at a time.

You can also withdraw completely from MyMedicare, either online or by contacting your clinic.
