Dr Jialing Lin: My Medicare

Consumer Affairs, Government & Organisations, Health, Politics

The Australian Government launched MyMedicare in October 2023, promising better health outcomes by encouraging Australians to stick with a regular GP and clinic. The idea is simple: build a relationship with your doctor, improve continuity of care, and, in return, get access to longer telehealth appointments and better chronic disease support.

But so far, just 10% of patients have signed up. Why the hesitation? And what can we learn from countries doing it better?

Guest: Dr Jialing Lin, Research Fellow at the International Centre for Future Health Systems at UNSW Sydney
