As we age, managing health conditions and ensuring quick access to medical information becomes increasingly important. Whether living independently or receiving aged care support, older Australians can benefit from MyQRMed, a simple yet powerful solution designed to enhance safety, support independence, and provide peace of mind for both individuals and their caregivers.





How MyQRMed Supports Aged Care


1. Instant Access to Medical Information

Older adults often have multiple health conditions that require careful management. In an emergency, MyQRMed’s QR-enabled medical ID ensures that first responders, caregivers, and medical professionals can quickly access vital health information, such as:

  • Medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, dementia)

  • Medications and allergies

  • Emergency contacts

  • Preferred hospitals and doctors

  • Special care instructions

This immediate access to critical details can improve emergency response times and ensure appropriate care is provided without delay.


2. Increased Safety for Seniors Living Independently

For older Australians who wish to remain independent, MyQRMed acts as a safety net. If an individual has a fall, becomes disoriented, or experiences a medical emergency, responders can scan their MyQRMed ID to access essential health details and emergency contacts. This added layer of security provides confidence for seniors and peace of mind for their families.


3. Support for Dementia and Cognitive Impairment

People living with dementia or cognitive impairments may have difficulty recalling important medical information or communicating in distressing situations. MyQRMed ensures that crucial details are easily accessible, helping caregivers and medical personnel provide the best possible care while minimizing stress for the individual.


4. Reducing Hospital Readmissions

By ensuring that emergency responders and healthcare providers have immediate access to a person’s medical history and treatment plans, MyQRMed can help reduce hospital readmissions and improve ongoing care coordination.


Claiming MyQRMed Through Home Care Packages, CHSP, or DVA


For older Australians receiving aged care support, MyQRMed can be fully funded through Home Care Packages (HCP), the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA).


How to Claim MyQRMed Through Aged Care Programs
