A GP Chronic Care Management Plan (GPCCMP) is designed to help patients with chronic or complex health conditions manage their care more effectively. It is a structured plan prepared by your GP in consultation with you, to support ongoing treatment, monitoring, and coordination of care.

The plan typically includes:

• A comprehensive assessment of your health needs

• Clear treatment goals and management strategies

• Information on medications, therapies, and lifestyle recommendations

• Coordination with other healthcare providers, such as specialists, allied health professionals, or community services

Having a GPCCMP can help ensure that your care is well-organised, improves health outcomes, and may provide access to additional support services. Your GP will review the plan regularly and update it as your needs change.

Once a Care Plan has been created, you may be eligible to see allied health professionals for up to five visits per year under Medicare. Allied health professionals can include:

• Aboriginal Health Worker

• Audiologist

• Chiropractor

• Diabetes Educator

• Dietitian

• Exercise Physiologist

• Mental Health Worker

• Occupational Therapist

• Osteopath

• Physiotherapist

• Podiatrist

• Psychologist

• Speech Pathologist

Your GP can guide you on which allied health services are most appropriate for your care.
