From 1 July 2025, Medicare introduced the new GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), replacing the old Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) and Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plans. Whether you’re seeking Physiotherapy, Chiropractic Care, or Dietitian support, this guide explains how you can access up to five subsidised sessions each year to help manage long-term conditions and stay on top of your health.
What Is the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)?
It’s a Medicare-funded program that supports people with ongoing health conditions requiring multidisciplinary care. Under this plan, your GP can coordinate with allied health professionals, such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, or dietitians, so you can receive up to 5 rebated sessions per year.
How Can You Qualify for the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)?
Qualifying for the Medicare Plan requires a documented chronic condition that your GP manages. Examples include diabetes, arthritis, or chronic back pain. During your consultation, your GP will assess your condition and determine whether an ongoing treatment plan involving allied health services is necessary.
What Services Can You Access Under the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)?
Our clinic proudly offers a comprehensive range of services under the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), including:
- Physiotherapy: Enhance your mobility and alleviate pain through tailored physical therapies.
- Chiropractic Services: Address spinal and musculoskeletal issues with expert chiropractic care.
- Dietitian Consultations: Receive dietary advice to manage and improve your health conditions.
Each service aims to contribute to a holistic approach to your health management.
