What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model, introduced by the Federal government. It aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.
Evidence shows that seeing the same GP and healthcare team regularly leads to better health outcomes.
