We registered for MyMedicare – now you can too!

Eastbrooke has joined thousands of healthcare providers across Australia in registering in MyMedicare, a new voluntary registration system that will help us formalise the relationship between us and our patients.

MyMedicare allows you to nominate a general practice and general practitioner as your regular healthcare provider.

When you register in MyMedicare, you and your usual GP and practice will receive access to new benefits to help them deliver more of the care you need.

It’s free and voluntary to register in MyMedicare, and registration is open to Australians with a Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card.

Patients who register with our practice in MyMedicare may benefit from:

• longer MBS-funded telephone consultations, from 1 November 2023
• longer bulk billed telehealth consultations for children under 16 and Commonwealth concession card holders at the new triple bulk billing rate, from 1 November 2023
• more regular visits from their GP and better care planning for people living in a Residential Aged Care Home, from August 2024
• connections to more appropriate care in general practice for people with chronic conditions who visit hospital frequently, from mid-2024.
