MyMedicare

MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration model introduced by the Department of Health and Aged Care. It formalises the relationship between patients, their general practice, GP, and primary care teams. Evidence shows that seeing the same GP and healthcare team regularly leads to better health outcomes.

What MyMedicare Practices Can Access

MyMedicare practices access more detailed information about their regular patients. This helps GPs tailor care and provide services that match each patient’s needs.

Practices also access the new longer telehealth items linked to MyMedicare. These items include longer MBS‑funded telephone consultations at Levels C and D with the patient’s usual general practice. Practices also receive the triple bulk billing incentive for longer MBS telehealth consultations at Levels C, D and E for children under 16, pensioners and concession card holders.

Benefits of MyMedicare

For Patients

Patients experience greater continuity of care through a formal connection with their preferred GP. This supports more consistent and coordinated care.

Eligible patients, including children under 16, pensioners and concession card holders, also gain improved access to longer telehealth services.
