What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a voluntary program introduced by the Australian Government to strengthen the relationship between patients and their regular GP clinic and support continuity of care. It helps formalise your ongoing relationship with One Health Clinics and aims to improve health outcomes through more coordinated and consistent care.
While MyMedicare has been available for some time, important updates came into effect from 1 November 2025, which may affect eligibility and access to some Medicare-funded services.
What are the benefits of MyMedicare?
Registering with MyMedicare at One Health Clinics may provide access to:
Rebates for longer telehealth consultations (when eligible)
Eligibility for certain care plans
Higher Medicare rebates for selected standard GP items
Improved continuity and coordination of care with your regular GP
Do I need to be registered to access a Care Plan?
Yes. To access a Care Plan, you must be registered with MyMedicare at the clinic where the appointment is being provided.
If you are registered at a different practice, you will need to update your registration before booking a Care Plan with us.
Please note: Mental Health Care Plans are not affected by this requirement.
Who can register?
You may be eligible to register if you:
Have a valid Medicare or DVA card, and
Have attended the practice at least two times in the past 24 months (for online registration via MyGov)
If you do not meet these requirements, you may still be able to register via our clinic-assisted process.
How do I register for MyMedicare?
You can register in one of the following ways:
1. Online via MyGov / Medicare Online Account
This option is available for eligible patients who meet the attendance requirements above.
2. In-clinic registration via HotDoc form
All patients can complete our MyMedicare registration form through HotDoc. Our reception team can then assist you with completing your registration.
If you are unsure about your eligibility or registration status, we recommend completing the HotDoc form to avoid delays.
What if I’m not registered yet?
If you are not yet registered with MyMedicare and wish to book a Care Plan appointment, registration will need to be completed prior to your appointment.
If you are unsure whether you are already registered, please contact reception or complete the HotDoc form so we can confirm and assist you.
Am I locked into One Health Clinics West End if I register?
No. MyMedicare does not lock you into a clinic. Registration is voluntary, and you can change or update your nominated practice at any time through your Medicare Online Account or with assistance from the clinic.
Who can register?
You may be eligible to register if you:
Have a valid Medicare or DVA card, and
Have attended the practice at least two times in the past 24 months (for online registration via MyGov)
Children:
Children are also eligible to be registered in MyMedicare. A parent or guardian can complete the registration on their behalf.
