MyMedicare
​This Medicare initiative allows patients to access additional telehealth item numbers for extended consults if required, and is designed to support continuous, coordinated care - ensuring your health needs are managed more effectively and with greater convenience.
Registered patients will be able to access longer MBS-rebated telephone calls with their usual general practice.
​You may choose to register Queensgate Medical Centre as your main practice provider through “MyMedicare”.
​
Need help getting started? Our friendly reception team is here to guide you through the registration process and answer any questions you may have.​
Am I eligible to register for MyMedicare?
If you have a valid Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran card and have had two face-to-face consultations with us in the last 24 months, you are eligible for MyMedicare.​
​
How do I register?
Patients can register for MyMedicare from 1 October 2023.
​​
Registration is easy and can be completed in one of the following ways:
-
Patients can commence the registration process in Medicare online services (Medicare Online Account or the Express Plus Medicare mobile application)
-
Patients can fill out a registration form at our practice and sign the form to provide consent. Simply ask your doctor at your next appointment!
-
You may receive a request to complete a registration form after making your online booking.
​
Patients who register with a DVA Veteran Card will need to fill out a registration form at our practice as registration via Medicare online services can only be completed using a Medicare card.
A parent/guardian will need to register a child under 14 years and provide consent on their behalf.
Young people aged 14 to 17 years will be able to register and provide consent without a parent/guardian. It is important to note that registration for a child under 14 years will need to be completed at the practice.
