The Australian Government is introducing a new voluntary patient registration model called MyMedicare to drive improvements in primary healthcare and deliver new funding packages to primary care providers.
MyMedicare aims to strengthen the relationship between patients and their primary care teams by allowing patients to register with their regular general practice and select their preferred GP and providers within the practice.
Registration in MyMedicare is voluntary for patients, practices and providers.
Practices can begin the MyMedicare registration process and link their providers to their practice before patient registration becomes available from 1 October 2023.
Visit MyMedicare for more information about eligibility and how to register, in addition to FAQs.
For more information on registering your practice, visit the Services Australia Health Professional Education website. This website has a range of eLearning modules to guide you through the registration process.
