How to enrol
Enrol in Medicare by following these steps:
- complete a Medicare enrolment form
- send your form and supporting documents to us. You can post them to the address on the form or email them to Medicare Enrolment Services.
If you’re enrolling as a family, you’ll need to nominate a contact person for your Medicare card. We’ll send Medicare cards and other general information for everyone listed on the card to the contact person.
If you’re the only person listed on the Medicare card, you’ll be the contact person for the card.
You can also get a digital copy of your Medicare card. You’ll need to sign into the Express Plus Medicare mobile app to access it. To use the app, you need a myGov account linked to your Medicare online account. If you don’t have these, set them up and then download the app.
