When you spend over a certain amount in a calendar year (1 Jan to 31 Dec) you qualify for a larger Medicare rebate. The Safety Net can help to lower your out of pocket costs.
If you’re single, you’ll automatically receive the higher rebates once you reach the threshold. But if you’re part of a family, you need to register by downloading a form from Services Australia website, via the Medicare Express Plus app, or by calling the Medicare general enquiries line (132 011).
