With the new school year beginning, the Department of Human Services is putting your child’s immunisation history in the palm of your hand.
Minister for Human Services Senator the Hon Marise Payne said the Express Plus Medicare smartphone app is the quick and easy way to access immunisation history without visiting a Medicare office.
“Using the app, you can quickly view your child’s immunisation history on the go,” Minister Payne said.
“From there, you can quickly email the history to your child’s school or childcare centre.”
Minister Payne said the Express Plus Medicare smartphone app also allows users to view Medicare claim history and Medicare Safety Net balance, and update address and contact details.
“If you lose or damage your Medicare card, you can use Express Plus Medicare to order a replacement card,” Minister Payne said.
“You can even flip your smartphone into ‘landscape’ mode and display a digital version of your Medicare card, saving you the need to open your purse or wallet.”
Minister Payne said people can access services using the app once they have created a myGov account and linked to their online Medicare account.
“More than six million myGov accounts have already been created. It’s quick and easy to register atmy.gov.au and to link your online Medicare account,” Minister Payne said.
Medicare services are also available by signing-in to your Medicare linked myGov account at my.gov.au.
