We invite you to join us - and choose Whole Medicine as your preferred Health Care Provider.
Registration is Voluntary and Free
Registering with Whole Medicine does NOT prevent you accessing care from other practice or healthcare providers.
My Medicare
Whole Medicine is a registered My Medicare Practice
What My Medicare Is
MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.
We have introduced MyMedicare as part of an ongoing commitment to strengthening Medicare for all Australians
Benefits
Evidence shows that seeing the same GP and healthcare team regularly leads to better health outcomes. Seeing your GP regularly and formalising the relationship you have with your GP and general practice through MyMedicare may lead to better health outcomes.
If you choose not to register in MyMedicare, you’ll still be able to access the same quality of care from your healthcare providers.
Registering with MyMedicare provides benefits to patients, general practices, and healthcare providers.
