What You Need to Know
About MyMedicare

MyMedicare is a voluntary and free registration system that allows you to formally nominate Beach Road Medical Centre as your regular general practice and your preferred GP.

Registering helps strengthen the relationship between you and your GP and supports better continuity of care.

What Are the
Benefits of Registering?

When you register for MyMedicare, you may benefit from:

  • Greater continuity of care with your nominated practice
  • Improved health outcomes through ongoing, coordinated care
  • Better connections to appropriate general practice care if you visit hospital frequently (from mid-2024)
  • Your chosen practice and GP being listed on your My Health Record, so other healthcare providers know who manages your regular care

Registering does not prevent you from visiting other healthcare providers or practices.

Who Can Register?

You can register for MyMedicare with:

  • An accredited general practice
  • An Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service
  • An Aboriginal Medical Service
  • A nurse practitioner-led practice with a GP
  • Other eligible healthcare practices

Registering does not prevent you from visiting other healthcare providers or practices.

How to Register for MyMedicare

Please ensure Beach Road Medical Centre is registered in MyMedicare before starting the process. Our team will then accept the registration.

In some cases, the practice may initiate the registration, which you will then complete through your Medicare Online Account or mobile app.

A MyMedicare registration is only finalised once both you and the practice have provided consent.

My Health Record

As part of your registration, your chosen GP and practice may appear on your My Health Record.

If you prefer not to have this information displayed, you can manage your preferences through your My Health Record settings.
