My Medicare Registration

MyMedicare at 188 Medical

As part of the Strengthening Medicare initiative, the government introduced MyMedicare on 1 October 2023 to improve quality, continuity, and coordination of care.
MyMedicare is a voluntary registration program that links you, your GP, and your regular general practice.
Choosing to register or not will not affect your access to care or the quality of medical services you receive at 188 Medical, however registering helps your care team provide more personalised and coordinated healthcare.

Evidence shows strongly that regularly seeing the same GP and practice leads to better health outcomes.

Why register for MyMedicare?

  • Strengthens your relationship with your GP and care team
  • Enables longer MBS-funded telephone consultations with your regular GP
  • Provides better access to care plans, health assessments, and follow-up care
  • Improves coordination with hospitals and other healthcare providers

 
You can only register with one practice at a time, but you can change at any time if you wish.
