Today I learned that apparently there are more than one colour of medicare card.

Green is the standard one, but for those newly receiving a medicare card there is aparently a Yellow (temporary) and a Blue (newly on medicare) one.

Imma guess mainly recent migrants/refugees will see these other colours.
