It's Tax Time!
If you’re a temporary resident, make sure you do this before tax time.
You can claim a Medicare levy exemption if you’re not entitled to Medicare benefits.
🚨 You’ll need a Medicare entitlement statement (MES) to claim.
These aren’t issued automatically. Here’s how to apply for one.
There are two ways you can apply:
1. using the Individual Healthcare Identifiers service through myGov, or
2. the MES online application on the Services Australia website.
⏰ Applications open 1 July, and will take at least 8 weeks to be processed.
Note: To be eligible for MLE, you and all your dependents, including your spouse, need to be exempt. This means your spouse may also need to apply for their own MES.

RBA reveals latest cash rate decision amid falling inflation.
The Reserve Bank has decided to reduce the cash rate target following its latest board meeting.
At its meeting today, the RBA decided to lower the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 3.85 per cent.
The RBA's decision to reduce interest rates follows further drops in underlying inflation, with recent figures indicating it had fallen within the RBA's target range.
AMP chief economist Dr Shane Oliver noted that wages growth has also been in line with RBA forecasts, adding to the RBA's confidence that inflation is falling sustainably to the mid-point of the target range.
"At the same time GDP growth looks to be running weaker than expected with flat consumer spending in the March quarter and global trade uncertainty posing a downside risk to the economic outlook," said Oliver.
RSM Australia economist Devika Shivadekar agreed that with headline inflation sitting below the mid-point of 2.5 per cent for two consecutive quarters and trimmed mean inflation breaching the target range in the previous quarterly figures, the RBA now "feels comfortable delivering another 25 basis point cut".
"For an owner-occupier with a $600,000 debt and 25 years remaining on the loan, a 0.25 percentage point cut could see monthly repayments drop by $91 for existing variable rate borrowers,"
