What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a new voluntary registration system that will help to formalise and strengthen relationships between patients, and encourage continuity of care with their general practice and preferred general practitioner (GP).
Evidence shows that seeing the same GP and healthcare team regularly leads to better health outcomes.
When you register for MyMedicare, additional funding from the Australian Government becomes available, to support our practice in providing more of the targeted care you need.
You may benefit from:
- longer MBS-funded telephone consultations
- longer MBS-funded telehealth consultations for children aged under 16 and Commonwealth concession card holders
- greater continuity of care
MyMedicare registration benefits for patients will continue to be added as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to strengthening Medicare. If you choose not to register for MyMedicare, you will still be able to access the same quality of care from your healthcare providers.
Talk to your regular general practitioner or our friendly reception staff about registering in MyMedicare, or find out more at health.gov.au/mymedicare.
