MyMedicare – Strengthening Your Connection with Your GP
Better health starts with regular, consistent care. That’s why the Australian Government has introduced MyMedicare — a voluntary and free registration model that formalises your relationship with your general practice, preferred GP, and primary care team.
Who Can Register?
MyMedicare is available to anyone who holds a Medicare card or a Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card.
Benefits of MyMedicare Registration
A formal, ongoing relationship with your regular GP and care team
Access to longer MBS-funded phone consultations with your usual GP (from 1 November 2023)
Better coordinated care for people with chronic conditions who frequently visit the hospital (from mid-2024)
More regular visits and improved care planning for aged care residents (from August 2024).
How to Register?
Start your registration via:
Medicare Online Account, or Express Plus Medicare mobile app
Once initiated, your practice staff will complete your registration in the MyMedicare system.
Need to Change Your GP?
You are not locked in — you can:
- Change your preferred GP within your current registered practice anytime
- Register with a new practice, provided you meet the eligibility requirements, and the practice participates in MyMedicare.
