All MyMedicare Registered Practices must keep their Accreditation Details up to date in the MyMedicare system to maintain MyMedicare eligibility and ensure incentive payments are not impacted.
Information for practices on how to update these details is available at slide 9 of the following HPE resource.
Practices may reach out to Services Australia or their PHN for additional assistance, if required.
MyMedicare Accreditation Exemption
We are pleased to advise that the accreditation exemption for non-traditional practices choosing to participate in MyMedicare has been extended from 30 June 2025 until 31 December 2026.
The accreditation exemption is available to non-accredited practices (including sole providers) who deliver general practice services entirely through mobile and outreach models:
- In Rural Settings
- In Residential Aged Care
- In Disability Residential Settings
- To First Nations Australians
- To People Experiencing Homelessness
The extension is in recognition of the new definition of general practice for the purpose of accreditation, which may allow some non-accredited practices to now become accredited. This extension aims to support non-accredited practices in considering their accreditation options under the National General Practice Accreditation Scheme.
Practices currently utilising this MyMedicare exemption will not need to take any action to update the new end date.
Information is correct as of 14 May 2025.
