Consent for MyMedicare registration for patients under 14 years of age must be provided by the patient’s parent
or legal guardian.
Patients aged 14-17 years must provide their consent to register for MyMedicare.
A parent or guardian of a patient aged 14-17 years may complete the Registration Form if the
14-17 year old is aware of the registration and has provided their consent for this person to act on their behalf.
For a patient 14 years or older, who lacks capacity to make decisions for themselves, consent for the MyMedicare registration will need to be provided by an individual who is authorised to act on the patient’s behalf.
