You need to tell us if your address or contact details change. Your contact details include your phone number and email address.

The screenshots in this guide are from a computer. The screen layout will look different if you’re using a mobile device.

Step 1: sign in

Sign in to myGov and select Medicare.

If you’re using the app, open it and enter your myGov PIN.

On your homepage, select Update now from My details.

Step 2: update your details

Go to the details you want to update, then select Edit. In this example we’ll update the postal address.

We’ll display information about how we can help people affected by family and domestic violence.

Select the link or select Close.

Your postal address links to your Medicare card. If you update your postal address online, we’ll update it for everyone on your Medicare card. If your new postal address doesn’t apply to everyone on your card, you need to get a new Medicare card.
