Managing a long-term condition

← All resources

If you live with an ongoing condition such as diabetes or heart disease, a structured plan can help you stay well and reduce the risk of complications. Our doctors and practice nurses work together with you to put one in place.

A GP Management Plan sets out your health goals and the steps to reach them. Where other health professionals are involved, such as a dietitian, physiotherapist or podiatrist, Team Care Arrangements help coordinate that care.

Key points

  • Care plans are reviewed regularly so they keep pace with your health.
  • Our registered nurses support you between appointments and help coordinate your care.
  • Eligible patients may access Medicare-subsidised allied health visits through a plan.
  • Bring a list of your current medications to your planning appointment.
