Chronic Disease Clinics

If you suffer from a chronic illness, you may be eligible for GP Management Plan. Your GP Management Plan will be specifically tailored to your health needs and will:

• List the actions you can take to help manage your condition.
• Set goals for your treatment.
• Set out the services to be provided by your GP.
• Be regularly reviewed, at least 6 monthly, ensuring the plan changes along with your needs.

As part of your plan, referrals can be made to Allied Health professionals e.g. Dieticians, Exercise Physiotherapists, and Podiatrists etc. With these referrals in place, Medicare will give rebates for the services.

There may be a small fee, but this will be determined by your Allied Health Professional. If you are referred to an Allied Health Professional within our clinic, please ask one of our friendly reception staff to provide you a copy of their fees. Chronic Disease Clinics requires a 30-minute in-person appointment with our Practice Nurse and 12-minute standard appointment with your regular doctor following the nurse consultation.

This appointment must be in the clinic and cannot be a telehealth.ve the results of these via a telehealth appointment.
