Enrolling other family members

You can enrol any children in your care who are under the age of 16. You will need to fill out a separate enrolment form for each person you are enrolling. If a family member is over the age of 16, they will need to enrol themselves. The exception is if you have Power of Attorney, or if you are their authorised representative.

Enrolled patient vs casual patient

Enrolling with a medical centre means that you receive publicly funded healthcare and pay a lower fee compared to a casual patient. Casual patients do not receive a co-payment from the government and are charged full price for consultations. A GP seeing a casual patient won’t have access to their medical files and history. Enrolling with a general practice means that your health records are all in one place, and you’re more likely to receive personalised care and advice based on a holistic view of your health. Seeing a consistent GP and clincial team every time is proven to give you the best health outcomes
