Hi,

I’m returning to Sydney after being away for 20 years, and I cannot find my Medicare details, nor my TFN. Any good pointers on how to navigate my way back to my original details please? Do I need to make contact with my employer from then? I doubt that they’d still have my records on file anyway.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @BFransham,


There's a few different places you can find your TFN depending on what documents you've got available. Our lost TFN page runs through your options, including what to do if none of the following work. You can find your TFN on:

  • Your income tax notice of assessment from a lodged tax return
  • Any letters from us
  • Payment summaries or income statements from your employer(s)
  • Your superannuation account statement

Hopefully that helps to obtain your TFN! As for your Medicare details, we can't provide too much help on that. Some other users may have suggestions, otherwise you may need to contact Medicare directly.
