To complete the MyMedicare registration, dual consent is required. Dual consent for MyMedicare can be achieved during the registration process, as outlined below:

• If a patient is initiating MyMedicare registration through their Medicare online services, or Express Plus Medicare Mobile app, this acts as the patient consent for registration. The patient-initiated registration is only considered to be successful after the practice has accepted this registration request through the MyMedicare tile in HPOS which acts as the practice consent.
• If a practice is initiating MyMedicare registration on behalf of their patients through the MyMedicare tile in HPOS, this acts as the practice consent for registration. The practice-initiated registration is only considered to be successful after the patient has accepted this registration request in their Medicare Online Services.
• Patients can also register for MyMedicare by filling out a MyMedicare Patient Registration Form. Completing this form acts as the patient consent to the registration process. Practices are then required to finalise the MyMedicare patient registration process through the MyMedicare tile in HPOS, acting as the practice consent for registration. Note: Practices will be required to retain a copy of this form to comply with record keeping obligations in accordance with Federal, State, or Territory legislation, applicable to their practice.

A parent or guardian can register a child under 14 years of age and provide consent on their behalf, but young people aged 14 to 17 years can register and provide consent without a parent or guardian. If a parent or guardian registers a minor aged between 14 and 17 years, the minor will need to tick a box declaring they have provided informed consent.
