Linking Medicare to your myGov account
In myGov, choose 'Link a service', then Medicare. You'll need your Medicare card and answers about your recent Medicare history (or a linking code from Services Australia). Once linked, you can manage claims and your card online.
Official site: myGov ↗
Steps
- Sign in to my.gov.au.
- Select 'View and link services', then Medicare.
- Enter your Medicare card details exactly as printed.
- Answer the identity questions about recent Medicare use, or enter a linking code if you have one.
If linking fails
- New to Medicare with no history: phone Medicare for a linking code.
- Details don't match: check name spelling and card issue number.
- Locked after too many attempts: wait, then try again or phone Medicare.
