Chronic Disease Management
Personalised Care for Your Specific Chronic Condition
If you have a chronic medical condition that is currently present or likely to last for more than six months, or terminal medical condition that requires ongoing care, our doctors can manage and coordinate your healthcare needs by incorporating the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) service offered by Medicare.
Some of the most common chronic conditions that affect many Australians’ health are:
Heart and cardiovascular diseases
Diabetes
Joint diseases and problems such as arthritis and osteoporosis
Cancer
Stroke
High blood pressure
Lung and respiratory diseases such as asthma and emphysema
Nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease and seizures
Inflammatory bowel disease
Mental health illnesses such as anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, and eating disorders
Neurological disorders such as dementia and epilepsy
Our doctors may be able to offer any of the following Medicare-subsidised care plans to help manage your chronic/terminal conditions:
GP management plan
Mental health care plan
Eating disorder care plan
To discuss about your eligibility for the CDM service, please book an appointment with a doctor online or by calling our reception staff on 9734 4111.
Diabetes Monitoring
Diabetes is a chronic disease that builds and develops slowly but can lead to very significant complications such as blindness and kidney failure. Early effective management has been proven to reduce complication rates. Understanding the disease and how best to monitor and treat it is the way to gain control over this common and potentially devastating condition. Diabetic education is seen as an important component of the diabetic management process and regular contact with your GP is strongly recommended.
