Link Medicare
Before you link Medicare to your myGov account
You’ll need your Medicare card details, including your card number, individual reference number and have either:
- a linking code given to you by a Medicare staff member
- access to your mobile phone number or email address registered with Medicare to get a one-time passcode.
You’ll also need an identity document such as:
- your Australian birth certificate
- a current Australian driver licence
- visa details.
You’ll need to answer some questions specific to you, for example your Medicare claiming history payment or bank details registered with us.
If you’ve linked your Centrelink to myGov or are using a Digital ID, check your profile details are the same.
