Over 930,000 Australians are owed a share of millions in unclaimed Medicare benefits. Here's how to check if you're one of them.
We often dream of a world in which one day, we might stumble upon a large sum of cash. But what if that dream could become a reality? The federal government revealed on Friday that over $241 million in unclaimed Medicare benefits is sitting in limbo, waiting to be accessed. Government Service Minister Bill Shorten said a share of that money is owed to more than 930,000 Australians who haven't provided Medicare with their current bank details.
5 million to establish the Australian Multicultural Health Collaborative. The money was awarded to the Federation of Ethnic Communities Councils of Australia to engage culturally and linguistically diverse communities, so they could have their say on Medicare reforms. A key focus of the four-year program is to address systemic racism and health inequity, while, at the same time, building trust between those communities and government.
