Registration Form
MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration model. It 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 outcomes.
Your completed MyMedicare Registration Form should be provided to your preferred General Practice to complete your registration process.
