MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to strengthen the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner and primary care teams.

The Department of Health and Aged Care (DoHAC) has released a general practice communication toolkit to support the rollout of MyMedicare.

From 1 July 2023, general practices have been able to begin the MyMedicare registration process and link their providers to their practice. Practices can register in Services Australia's PRODA, HPOS and Organisation Register systems.


General Practice Aged Care Incentive (GPACI)

The General Practice Aged Care Incentive supports general practices to deliver regular, proactive services and care planning to older people living in residential aged care homes.

If your practice is already participating in the existing Practice Incentive (PIP) General Practice (GP) Aged Care Access Incentive (ACAI), we encourage you to get ready to register for the General Practice Aged Care Incentive.

General Practices, ACCHs/ACCHOs and other eligible practices will be able to start registering in MyMedicare for the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive from 1 July 2024, prior to the official commencement date on 1 August 2024.
