MyMedicare Program Guidelines published on 6 January 2025 contain detailed information and guidance for practices, general practitioners and patients who wish to voluntarily register with the MyMedicare Program.

We encourage general practices to familiarise themselves with these guidelines.

The MyMedicare Program Guidelines provide further information regarding:

• The Services Australia Organisation Register; a streamlined practice registration tool connecting a general practice, GPs, patients, MBS claiming and incentives in the one central system. The guidelines describe how the Organisation Register supports MyMedicare and new, existing and future health programs.
• Aboriginal Community Controlled Services or Aboriginal Medical Services can register their organisation sites under a ˜Hub and Spoke’ Model, whereby practices operating under this model are considered as a singular organisation for the purposes of MyMedicare Registration.
• General Practice Accreditation requirements and exemptions. Note that accreditation exemptions for non-traditional practices are in effect until 30 June 2025.
• Provider Registration Requirements outlining which providers are eligible
• Patient Registration Requirements including patient eligibility, exemptions to MBS service requirements, and more on patient registration
• Patient Consent of MyMedicare
• Withdrawing from MyMedicare
• MBS Items linked to MyMedicare
• Incentive Programs Linked to MyMedicare
• My Health Record and MyMedicare
