Not sure if you can do this from the uk - we just went to the local medicare office with our passports and filled out a form. All in all took about 20 mins including queuing Got given a temporary card and ours arrived in post few days later.

I'm 90% sure you cannot apply unless you have entered the country.

 

Recently I took some friends down to Medicare to register a couple of days after they arrived.We were told that they would have to wait a few days longer as their entry into the country had been processed on the system yet.

Have checked for you - cannot apply until you have been in Oz for 10 days
