Chronic Disease Management

Chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure affect many Australians and often require ongoing medical care. At Cameron Park Healthcare, our independent doctors support patients living with long-term conditions through structured and individualised care.

During your consultation, your GP may develop a GP Management Plan (GMP) and, where appropriate, a Team Care Arrangement (TCA) to support coordinated care and access to Medicare-funded allied health services.

Regular reviews, follow-up appointments, and early intervention assist in monitoring your condition and supporting long-term health management.

There are two kinds of chronic disease management plans for patients:

GP Management Plans (GPMP)

A GP Management Plan is a structured care plan developed by an independent GP following a clinical consultation. The plan considers medical, physical, psychological, and social factors relevant to managing a chronic condition. GPMPs are generally reviewed every six months, or earlier if there are significant changes in health status. Patients may be reminded when a review or renewal is due.

Team Care Arrangements (TCA)

A Team Care Arrangement may be developed alongside a GPMP where a patient requires care from multiple health professionals. TCAs allow eligible patients to access a limited number of Medicare-subsidised allied health services each calendar year, subject to Medicare criteria and clinical appropriateness.

Eligibility and Ongoing Care

Eligibility for GPMPs and TCAs is determined by the treating GP in line with Medicare requirements. Where applicable, practice nursing staff may assist with administrative components of care planning and allied health referrals. Access to subsidised allied health services is subject to Medicare rules, and the number of available visits may vary.

Patients are encouraged to discuss their individual circumstances, eligibility, and care options with their GP during a consultation.
