About Medicare

Medicare can help with the cost of seeing a doctor or specialist, getting medicines and going to hospital.

Show your Medicare card when you use health services. If the service is covered, you’ll get it for free or a reduced cost.

If you can’t claim your Medicare benefit at the doctor’s, you can claim it in your Medicare account through myGov.
