You can apply to enrol in Medicare either:
- online through myGov
- by completing a Medicare enrolment form.
We’ll begin processing these enrolment applications in mid-September.
If you get medical treatment in Australia before your enrolment is processed, keep your invoices and proof of payment.
If you receive a Medicare number, you can submit a claim and you may get a Medicare benefit for your treatment.
If your immediate family hold a Bridging Visa E, they may be able to get Medicare as well.
