Chronic Disease Management & Care Coordination
If you have a long-lasting illness that has persisted for six months or more, you may benefit from a Chronic Disease Management Plan, also known as a Care Plan. Chronic conditions can gradually worsen over time, impacting your daily life and reducing your ability to stay independent.
What is a Care Plan?
A Care Plan is an annual, personalized healthcare plan designed to help you manage your chronic illness effectively. Developed in collaboration with your GP and up to 5 allied health providers—such as dieticians, physiotherapists, podiatrists, psychologists, and occupational therapists—the plan ensures comprehensive care tailored to your needs. Many of these services are partially or fully subsidized by Medicare.
Why Should You Get a Care Plan?
- Comprehensive Care: Your Care Plan addresses all aspects of your health, not just the symptoms of your illness.
- Coordinated Support: Up to 5 allied health providers will work together to ensure consistent and effective treatment.
- Regular Monitoring: Your health will be regularly monitored by our experienced and qualified team of GPs and nurses, with follow-ups to adjust your treatment as needed.
- No Out-of-Pocket Costs: The Care Plan is fully funded, with no extra costs for consultations or treatments covered by the plan, and many services are subsidized by Medicare.
How to get started
To get a Care Plan, you'll need a consultation with your regular GP, where your health needs will be discussed, and the plan will be created. You can easily book your consultation online, over the phone, or in person.
