Does anyone know what is the average time for a medicare card application to be processed? I am switching from visitor's health cover to the normal private health cover with 30% govt rebate but they need my medicare number to process the 30% rebate.

I have only mail in my medicare application about 2 weeks ago as there isn't an office where I am.

I went into the medicare office and was given a temporary card straightaway with a proper card to follow in the post. It took just under 3 weeks I think to get the proper card, so I would guess that your application would take around that length of time, but that is just my guess!! Hope it comes through for you quickly
