A GP chronic condition management plan is a written plan prepared with your GP for one or more conditions that have lasted, or are expected to last, six months or more. It records your goals, the treatments and services you need, and when you will be reviewed.
From July 2025 these plans replaced the older GP management plan and team care arrangement items.
People with a chronic or terminal condition; your GP will advise.
Registration with the practice through MyMedicare is required for some plan items.
With a plan, eligible patients can receive Medicare rebates for up to five allied health services each calendar year, such as physiotherapy, podiatry, dietetics, exercise physiology, diabetes education and psychology.
Allied health providers set their own fees, so there may be a gap.

A chronic condition is one that has lasted, or is expected to last, six months or more, such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma, COPD, arthritis, kidney disease, osteoporosis, chronic pain or a mental health condition.
Many people live with more than one, which makes coordinated care even more important.
MyMedicare is a free voluntary registration with your usual practice. It links you to Morisset Doctors and supports ongoing care, including some care plan and telehealth items.
Registering takes a few minutes online.
Good goals are specific, realistic and meaningful to you, such as walking for 20 minutes five days a week, rather than just losing weight.
