How to link Medicare to myGov

Be enrolled in Medicare.

Sign into your myGov account.

Select ‘Services’ from the main menu.

Select ‘Link your first Service.’

Select ‘Medicare’.

Select ‘I agree’ to allow myGov to store your personal details.

Check that your name matches in myGov and Medicare. 

If your name does not match in Medicare and myGov, update your details:

• If your name is incorrect in myGov, update it by contacting:

• Australian Taxation Office or
• Centrelink.
• If your name is incorrect with Medicare, please contact the Medicare Program on 132 011 (7 days a week/24 hours a day).

Select ‘Continue’.

Enter your personal details, including:

• Medicare Card Number
• Individual Reference Number
• Name
• Date of Birth
• Address.

Select ‘Next’.

Answer some questions specific to you so Services Australia can match the correct Medicare record to your myGov account, including:

• Your Medicare Card expiry date
• Your banking details recorded in Medicare
• Details about your last doctor’s appointment.

Select ‘Next’.

If you have completed each of the above steps successfully, your Medicare Card is now linked to your myGov account.

You can now select:

• Medicare to go to your Medicare online account or
• Home to go to your myGov homepage.

When you have finished using your myGov account, log out to protect your privacy and security.
