MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration initiative designed to strengthen the relationship between patients, their general practice, and primary care teams. By formally linking patients to their preferred practice, MyMedicare supports improved continuity of care, better health outcomes, and enhanced access to funded services for priority populations.
