You may not have gotten your letter just yet. Services Australia has been having delays in processing the 2022-23 MES. Have you lodged your tax return yet? You should still lodge your return and complete the Medicare levy exemption question as though you have your statement. When you get your MES, if it's different to what you lodged in your tax return, you'll need to lodge an amendment. Find out more at Not entitled to Medicare benefits (https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Medicare-and-private-health-insurance/Medicare-levy/Medicare-levy-exemption/Not-entitled-to-Medicare-benefits/). If you applied using the Individual Healthcare Identifiers (IHI) service (https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/how-to-get-medicare-entitlement-statement?context=23266) through myGov, you can track your application using your MES dashboard. Your statement would be sent to the address you listed on the form when you applied.
