If you were not eligible for Medicare for all or part of the financial year, you may need a Medicare Entitlement Statement (MES) before claiming the Medicare levy exemption in your tax return. The main step is simple: sign in to myGov and follow the Medicare Entitlement Statement process from there.
After signing in, follow the prompts to access the Medicare Entitlement Statement dashboard and complete your application online.
A Medicare Entitlement Statement shows the period when you were not eligible for Medicare during a financial year.
You may need it to support a Medicare levy exemption claim in your Australian tax return.
Click the myGov sign in button first, then continue to the MES dashboard and complete the application.
Please follow these steps carefully. This page is designed to make the process simple and clear for Hamro Accountant clients.
Start by clicking the Apply online from office Australia button on this page and log in to your myGov account.
After signing in, continue to the Medicare Entitlement Statement dashboard through the Individual Healthcare Identifiers service and begin your application.
Enter your details carefully, select the correct financial year, and review everything before submitting. Make sure your information matches your official records.
If requested, upload the relevant documents clearly. These may include identity, visa, or residency-related documents depending on your situation.
Once your application is processed, download your Medicare Entitlement Statement and keep it ready for your tax return or send it to Hamro Accountant if needed.
The exact requirements can differ depending on your case, but these are the common documents clients may need while applying.
Services Australia handles the Medicare Entitlement Statement application process, while the ATO determines whether the Medicare levy exemption applies in your tax return.
If you cannot apply online, there is also a paper form option available through Services Australia.
Please make sure all uploaded documents are clear and readable.
