The new General Practice Aged Care Incentive has been established to give aged care residents better access to high quality, continuous, and person-centred primary care.

Practices will be able to register, and providers will be able to participate for the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive through the MyMedicare program from 1 July 2024. 

To receive the incentive of $300 per patient, per year, paid to the responsible provider, and $130 per patient, per year, paid to the practice, GPs must provide an aged care patient with two eligible care planning services over a 12-month period and two eligible regular visits per quarter, each in a separate calendar month, delivering at least eight regular services in a 12-month period.
