Coordinated support for ongoing conditions
Chronic medical conditions are generally present, or expected to be present, for six months or longer. Examples include asthma, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, cancer and stroke. Eligibility is based on your care needs rather than a fixed list of conditions.
What your care plan may include
- Your health and care priorities.
- The services your GP will provide.
- Actions you can take to manage your condition.
- Coordination with other health professionals where required.
Where clinically appropriate, your plan may include referrals to allied health services. Your GP will explain eligibility, rebates and any possible out-of-pocket costs.
Care plan appointments and reviews are bulk billed.Please call the clinic to arrange this appointment type so we can allow the right amount of time.
Regular reviews
Your care plan should be reviewed with your GP. This helps you check progress, update your goals and make any changes needed. Our practice nurse may also provide support and monitoring between visits.
