MyMedicare
We’re here for you
What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a new voluntary registration system that links you with your regular general practice, preferred GP and care team. It helps support better continuity and coordination of your healthcare.
Benefits of Registering
- Helps your GP provide more personalised, long-term care
- Your preferred GP and practice details will appear in your My Health Record (unless you choose otherwise)
- Access to longer bulk billed telehealth consultations (for eligible patients)
- Greater continuity of care, especially for those with chronic or complex health needs
- Aged care residents benefit from improved GP care planning and regular visits
Who Can Register?
You can register if you:
- Have a Medicare or DVA card
- Have had 2 or more face-to-face visits with our practice in the past 24 months
- Are an existing patient of Springs Medical
How to Register
There are three simple options:
- Online via your Medicare Online Account or Express Plus Medicare app
- In person – complete a form at reception (Download PDF here)
- Start registration online and have our staff complete it with your consent (Register online here)
Is There a Cost?
No. MyMedicare registration is free.
What’s the Difference Between MyMedicare and My Health Record?
- MyMedicare links you to your regular GP and practice
- My Health Record stores your clinical health information (e.g., test results, prescriptions)
MyMedicare doesn’t store medical records—it simply supports ongoing care with your usual team.
