I didn't know STI clinics don't need a Medicare card??? That's vital news because do y'all know that all your Medicare card history appears in your myGov account (even if you opted out of the medical history scheme)? The medicare history appears with an item number which an investigative wife could figure out with a simple Google search. But, and this is the good news, it disappears after 3 years. I was relieved to find that. But from now on I'll go to an STI clinic if that's true about no Medicare card.
Not true!
Sexual Health Clinics require Medicare card.
They just don't ask you because they have it in record from your previous visits.
The first thing they ask you is to fill up a form where you have to give your medicare card number.
