MyMedicare is Australia’s new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to strengthen the relationship between patients, general practice, GPs and primary care teams, improving equitable access for priority population groups.

Benefits for you the patients

Registration to MyMedicare helps patients access best-practice care across the health system. Benefits include:

  • being able to choose and remain with a regular GP, strengthening the patient-doctor relationship
  • increasing options for access to a GP and health care team, whether it’s face-to-face or via telehealth
  • improving communication between patients, GP, specialists and hospitals.

Medicare is changing how they are funding Chronic disease management access to all GP Management plans and Allied Health access; In the near future these services will only be available to patients who are registered through MYMEDICARE with their usual GP. If you have a chronic condition and would like to be able to access these types of services, when registration is available, please register through Medicare to see either Dr Heyning or Dr Rockliff Boehm
