Enrol your child in Medicare
If your child was born overseas, you may be able to enrol them in Medicare if you’re an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
If you have adopted a child from overseas, you may be able to enrol them in Medicare. If the adoption isn’t yet final, we can give the child their own Medicare card.
