Introducing MyMedicare

As part of an ongoing commitment to strengthening Medicare for all Australians, the Australian Government has introduced MyMedicare, a voluntary patient registration model that aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams. Seeing your GP regularly and formalising the relationship you have with your GP and practice through MyMedicare can lead to better health outcomes.

What are the benefits of MyMedicare?

• Greater continuity of care with your family doctor.
• Longer MBS telephone calls with your usual general practice, allowing for more comprehensive discussions about your health with your doctor.
• A dedicated preventative health team commited to helping ensure you receive the long-term health benefits you deserve.
• Formalised relationships with your practice and your GP.

Register with a MyMedicare registration form

You are able to register for MyMedicare by completing a registration form in one of the following ways:

1. You can ask one of our receptionists for a hard copy of the registration form at your next appointment.
2. You can download a PDF version of the form by clicking here and then emailing the form to reception@waratahgeneralpractice.com.au
3. You can complete the registration form via AutoMed by clicking here or scanning the QR code.
