Chronic condition management plans

If you have a chronic condition that has been present, or is likely to be present, for six months or more, your doctor may recommend a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan — the Medicare arrangement that replaced GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements from 1 July 2025. A plan sets out your health goals, the care you need and who provides it, and can give you Medicare-supported access to certain allied health services such as podiatry, physiotherapy and dietetics. Your doctor will review the plan with you regularly to keep it up to date.

Patients registered with MyMedicare who choose Best Life Medical Centre as their regular practice benefit from stronger continuity of care — one practice, one team, one plan.
