The Australian Government is introducing a new voluntary patient registration model called MyMedicare to drive improvements in primary healthcare for all Australians and deliver new funding packages to primary care providers.
Registration in MyMedicare is voluntary for patients, practices and providers.
From 1 July 2023 you can:
- Check if your practice is eligible to participate in MyMedicare by visiting the MyMedicare webpage.
- Find out what you need to do to register your practice in the Organisation Register to get ready for MyMedicare by visiting Services Australia Health Professional Education webpage.
Registration starts with linking an Organisation in PRODA to Health Professional Online Services (HPOS). Once linked you can access the Organisation Register via the Organisation Register tile in HPOS at Services Australia HPOS webpage.
Once your practice is registered in the Organisation Register, and you have linked your eligible providers you will not need to complete any additional steps until 1 October 2023, when patient registration will become available.
