About MyMedicare

Registration in MyMedicare is voluntary for patients, practices and providers

MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to strengthen the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.

Why it is important

MyMedicare patients will have access to:

  • greater continuity of care with their registered practice, improving health outcomes
  • longer MBS-funded telephone calls (Levels C and D) with their usual general practice
  • triple bulk billing incentive for longer MBS telehealth consultations (Levels C, D and E) for children under 16, pensioners, and concession card holders.

The 2023–24 Budget invests $19.7 million over 4 years in MyMedicare.

A further $39.8 million will be delivered over 4 years to support systems delivery through Services Australia.
