Some yes but the AIR is very hit and miss. In theory all these people should be able to be linked via their Medicare number but the systems are much more unreliable than you would think

I know I'm late to this but I believe they try to link to the AIR on 1st name, last name and DOB and have to get an exact match on all three. There's no legislative basis that allows sharing/joining data on Medicare number between the Feds and NSW Health

That's actually a comfort. I've been operating under the premise "the gov't pays, the gov't knows all." but I forgot the incompetent part.
