The MyMedicare Program Guidelines contain detailed information and guidance for practices, general practitioners and patients who wish to voluntarily register with the MyMedicare Program.

The MyMedicare Program Guidelines provide further information regarding:

  • Provider Registration Requirements outlining which providers are eligible
  • Patient Registration Requirements including patient eligibility, exemptions to MBS service requirements, and more on patient registration
