Time to register for MyMedicare

MyMedicare is a free, voluntary program (for medicare or DVA card holders).

Having a regular doctor has been shown to be good for your health.
This is one of the main reasons the government has introduced MyMedicare.

If Dunoon General Practice is the main GP surgery you attend, please register Dunoon GP as your regular GP in MyMedicare. This will enable our doctors to receive more funding for certain types of consultations with you, eg. longer telehealth consultations.

MyMedicare registration helps us to continue to provide fully bulk-billed care to our patients. However, every Dunoon GP patient will continue to receive the highest standard of care we can provide, regardless of whether they have registered with MyMedicare or not.

Ways to register:
1. Use the Express Plus Medicare app available for Apple or Android phones ;
2. Your MyGov account online: https://my.gov.au/ ;
3. Fill in a paper form, available at reception.
