MyMedicare

MyMedicare is a voluntary registration system designed to improve healthcare delivery and patient experiences. It allows individuals to choose their preferred general practitioner and primary care team.

About

The Australian Government is introducing a new voluntary patient registration model called MyMedicare to drive improvements in primary health care for all Australians and deliver new funding packages to primary care providers.

MyMedicare will 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.

General Practice Aged Care Incentive

MyMedicare Timeline

Benefits for your practice 

  1. MyMedicare integration with the My Health Record, allows hospitals and other health providers to communicate with a patient's regular GP easily.
  2. More information about regular patients makes it easier to tailor services to fit their needs.  
  3. Blended funding payments are available through MyMedicare to support primary care providers keep registered patients with complex chronic disease out of hospital.  
  4. The new General Practice in Aged Care incentive supports GPs providing regular visits, health assessments and care plans for people living in residential aged care homes.   
  5. Chronic Condition Management items linked to a patient’s registration in MyMedicare from July 2025, to support continuity of care for people with chronic and complex conditions. Patients who are not registered in MyMedicare will still be able to receive Chronic Condition Management items from their usual GP. 

Benefits for your patients 

  1. Greater continuity of care with their registered practice, improving health outcomes
  2. Registered patients will have access to longer MBS-funded telephone calls (Levels C and D) with their usual GP, promoting better accessibility and quality of care. 
  3. Triple bulk billing incentives for longer MBS telehealth consultations (Levels C, D, and E) will be available for children under 16, pensioners and other Commonwealth concession card holders registered with their general practice.

To register for MyMedicare, general practices must:  

  1. Ensure your practice meets the eligibility criteria. 
  2. Link an organisation in PRODA to Health Professional Online Services (HPOS). 
  3. Access the Organisation Register in HPOS to register your practice and link your eligible GPs. 

If your practice is already registered and all participating providers are linked in the Organisation Register, you do not need to complete a second registration process.

Once these steps are complete, you can now register your patients to MyMedicare.
