Indigenous Health Incentive (IHI) registration will become lifetime registration from 1 January 2025.

This applies to any new patient you register from 1 November 2024.

From 1 November 2024 patients already registered for IHI with an end date of 31 December 2024 will automatically receive lifetime registration. This means you won’t need to re-register these patients.

New patient registrations with:

• a date of consent in 2024 will have a lifetime registration start date of 1 January 2025
• a date of consent from 2025 onwards will have a lifetime registration start date of the date of consent.

Registrations will no longer be backdated to the beginning of the year.
