SERVICES Australia is inviting health professionals to let their patients know about the myGov app, a "new secure and convenient option for people to use myGov on their mobile".
The app can be used to access services including My Health Record, Medicare, Centrelink and Child Support, and also features a digital wallet for people to store some government-issued digital cards and certificates.
This includes their Centrelink concession and health care cards, and soon people will also be able to add their Medicare card to the app.
QR codes which appear in the app when people present their Centrelink concession and health care cards can be scanned to check whether the card is genuine and valid.
A full kit of resources with more details is at my.gov.au.
