MyMedicare is a part of the Commonwealth Government’s Strengthening Medicare efforts. MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model aimed at improving the provision of health services.
The Australian Government has committed funds to help general practices enhance patient-centred care. General practices and patients enrolled in MyMedicare will benefit from better continuity of care through improved telehealth access, increased bulk-billing and bundled funding incentives to assist high-end users and residents of aged-care facilities.
