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.
