Chronic Conditions Management Plans in Tewantin
Tewantin Chronic Conditions Management Plans
Chronic condition management plans help people with long-term health conditions access coordinated care and ongoing support. At Tewantin Medical Centre, we create personalised GP Management Plans tailored to your specific needs, whether you are living with asthma, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or another chronic condition that requires consistent monitoring and treatment.
Your doctor works alongside our experienced chronic disease nurse team to review your health, set achievable goals, and coordinate care with other providers. These may include physiotherapists, podiatrists, dietitians, or other allied health professionals. Eligible patients can access Medicare rebates for up to five allied health visits per year, helping reduce out-of-pocket costs.
We also ensure your plan integrates with other services where appropriate, such as
mental health support,
women’s health, or
men’s health
services. This holistic approach means your care remains connected, with all practitioners working towards the same health outcomes. To check eligibility or arrange an appointment, call our friendly team on

How We Support Ongoing Health
Chronic conditions management is more than creating a plan — it’s about staying engaged with your health journey. We schedule regular reviews to track progress, adjust treatments, and update goals, ensuring your care evolves as your needs change. This proactive approach helps prevent complications and supports better long-term outcomes.
Our team works closely with allied health professionals, non-GP specialists, and community services to coordinate every aspect of your care. Whether you need dietary guidance, mobility support, or help managing medication, we ensure each provider has the information needed to deliver consistent, effective treatment that supports your overall health and wellbeing.
Education and self-management are key parts of our approach. We provide resources and practical strategies to help you understand your condition, recognise warning signs, and make informed daily choices. With ongoing support from your GP and our chronic care nurses, you remain an active participant in maintaining and improving your health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a chronic condition management plan?
A GPCCMP (GP chronic condition management plan) outlines your treatment goals and coordinates care between your GP and other health professionals. It may include referrals to allied health services, regular reviews, and clear strategies to help you manage your condition and improve your quality of life over time.
Am I eligible for a chronic condition management plan?
You may be eligible if you have a medical condition that has been, or is expected to be, present for six months or more. Examples include diabetes, heart disease, asthma, arthritis, musculoskeletal conditions, kidney disease, and some mental health conditions. Your GP will assess your history and current health to confirm eligibility.
What allied health services can I access under a plan?
A chronic condition management plan gives you access to five Medicare-subsidised visits per calendar year with allied health professionals, such as physiotherapists, podiatrists, dietitians, or exercise physiologists. Your GP will recommend services based on your condition and treatment goals, ensuring you receive care that supports your daily health needs and long-term wellbeing.
How often is my plan reviewed?
Your plan is generally reviewed every three to six months to monitor your progress, update treatment goals, and adjust referrals if needed. During these reviews, your GP will discuss any changes in symptoms, lifestyle, or personal priorities to ensure your plan remains effective and relevant.
