    I've done it manually for receipts 18 months old. HTH, PX

    FOREVER! OK, so maybe not, but when we moved to Brissie, DH and I found some receipts that were bordering on fossilization and we still got them through - like over 3 years old. Give it a go!

    What Audax said. I've found receipts that were more than 2 years old. They wouldn't process them on the spot - had to send them to some "main" office - but we did get the Medicare refund and it didn't take all that long all things considered.

    Yep, as long as they are receipts with everything they need on them as in item number and so on. Over 6mths pretty sure they can process them in a Medicare office, over 2yrs it needs to be approved by the delegate in head office.
