Medicare offices?

[Tinks]

I need to go to Medicare. Does anyone know if there are still offices around, preferably in the Eastern Suburbs?

I know I saw one the other day but can't for the life of me remember where.

[HotI]

they are listed on Medicare website.

Eastland would be the closest.

Hoti, I did look at the website first but was having trouble with it so thought I'd ask here for a quick answer.

Thanks BR.

DH looked at website the other day, and it also listed one that doesn't actually exist yet, so much better to go by word of mouth. I am not in the East so couldn't help.

I know there sone at Waverley Gardens in Mulgrave and there's one at Southland... But they are probably not anywhere near you

[Rivlas]

One at Lilydale also

Just a heads up, most offices don't carry cash now and you'll need your bank account details if they don't already have them.

One at Lilydale also

Whereabouts in Lilydale? Is it open today?

Just a heads up, most offices don't carry cash now and you'll need your bank account details if they don't already have them.

But you can also do a 'reverse' eftpos transaction into a debit account (not a credit card) where the funds are available straight away. I use this way if we are tight on funds and need the money back straight away.

The Lilydale one is now in the Centrelink office - I doubt that is would be open today.

No Medicare offices carry cash at all anymore. It's all registered bank accounts only or as Doing my Best explained.

The Lilydale one appears to be a combined Medicare and Centrelink, the address is below and it looks like it would be closed. There is one in Eastland shopping Centre

Cnr Anderson Street & Chapel Street

Lilydale VIC 3140

[Tinks]

Ohh, now that you mention it, I knew it was at centrelink.

I got busy and it's too late now, will go on Monday. Thanks

You can also do online claiming for certain item numbers, the money refunded into nominated account within 2days usually.

The Medicare app is great, better than claiming via the website. You make a claim & take a photo of the receipt. It takes 2-3 days for the money to go in your account.

I think the Lilydale office is open Saturdays.

There's still one at Ringwood, at Eastland.

I just looked in the App Store and couldn't see anything that seemed right.... Is it apple or android? Or ???

it will likely be called "express plus medicare" - all human services apps begin with "express plus"
