Published on: 9th November 2024

This is Auslan90 – Deep Dive, produced by Deaf Connect, supported by SBS.  In addition to our Daily news, Deaf Connect produces ‘deep dive’ videos which provide more detail and context to the biggest stories of the week.

Today’s deep dive focuses on Unclaimed Medicare Benefits

Did you know that 930,000 Australians are owed money from Medicare? The federal government recently revealed that over $240 million in rebates have not yet been claimed.

Watch on to learn more including what to do to ensure you have received your Medicare benefits.

Remember, if you receive an email claiming to be from Medicare, do not click any links and go directly to the MyGov website or app instead.

This project is funded by the Federal Government Department of Social Services Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) program.

Your feedback on Auslan90, the news we cover and the format will help Deaf Connect better understand the demand for accessible news, and potentially expand the program beyond the pilot, so please provide any feedback in English or Auslan to [email protected]
