General Practitioners (GP’s) are generally the first point of contact in healthcare, playing a vital role in providing ongoing, comprehensive care to individuals and communities 🩺

A career in general practice offers incredible flexibility, allowing you to work anywhere in Australia. It also allows you to build expertise across many areas of health and medicine and tailor your career based on specific interests.

GP’s are highly valued across the healthcare system for the continuity of care they provide and the lasting relationships they build with patients over time.

Seeing the same GP regularly can lead to better health outcomes 💛💚

With MyMedicare, you can formally register your preferred practice, helping strengthen your ongoing care and connection with your healthcare team.

MyMedicare is voluntary and free to register. When you register in MyMedicare, it will notify your general practice that you have chosen them as your regular care team.

MyMedicare patients will have access to:
• greater continuity of care with your registered practice, which has been demonstrated to improve health outcomes
• longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP
• the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive program that provides more regular visits from a GP and better care planning for people living in a residential aged care home
