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. We are pleased to advise that Avalon Family Medical Practice is registered in MyMedicare.
By registering as a patient of your regular general practice and selecting a preferred GP, additional funding will be available from the government to assist your primary care team deliver the care you need.
You’re eligible to register for MyMedicare if you have:
1) a valid Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card, and;
2) had 2 face-to-face appointments with your selected practice in the previous 24 months
There are a number of ways you can register with your chosen practice in MyMedicare:
* Start the registration process in your Medicare Online Account or Express PlusMedicare Mobile app.
* Fill out a registration form at your practice. By signing the form, you are giving your consent to participate in MyMedicare with that practice. Practice staff will then complete the registration in the MyMedicare system.
