MyMedicare

Registration Guide

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

MyMedicare patients and their usual GP and practice will have access to new benefits to help deliver more of the care patients need, improving health ouctomes.

To register for MyMedicare using your Medicare Online Account, you''ll need:

To link your Medicare online account to myGoc
your Medicare card.

To register online, follow the steps below:

Sign in to myGov.
Select Medicare.
Select the View MyMedicare quick link, then Start.
Under search for your practice, select Your practice, then Next. If you’re having trouble, read the helpful hints.
Select Your preferred GP, then Next.
Complete the voluntary About you information, then select Next to move to the next question or to skip a question.
Select Submit registration, then follow the prompts to complete your registration.

Helpful hints when searching for a practice:

Try entering your practice postcode first, then location.
If you need to add more information, make sure you’ve spelt the practice name correctly and don’t have any extra spaces.
You may want to try searching with just the practice postcode and the first 3 or 4 letters of the practice name.
Remember your practice may not be registered for MyMedicare yet, so if they still don’t show up, you’ll need to contact them to check if they’re registered.

Alternatively, you can also apply via the downloadable paper form which you can give to our practice team in person.
