Chronic Condition Management Plans and Health Assessments

What is a Chronic Condition Management Plan?

A Chronic Condition Management Plan (CCMP), also known as a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), is a personalised care plan developed by you and your GP to help manage long-term health conditions.

From 1 July 2025, the CCMP replaced older plans such as the Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP) and Team Care Arrangements (TCA).

Who is eligible for a CCMP?

You may be eligible if:

• You have a chronic or terminal condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, six months or more
• Your GP believes you would benefit from a structured care plan
• You are registered with a MyMedicare practice, or regularly see your usual GP

Allied Health Support

A CCMP can provide access to Medicare-subsidised allied health services, including:

• Up to 5 sessions per calendar year
• Up to 10 sessions per year for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients

These services may include physiotherapy, dietetics, podiatry, psychology, exercise physiology, occupational therapy, and group services for conditions such as type 2 diabetes, where appropriate and aligned with your care plan.

How to Get a CCMP

1. Book an appointment with your GP and let them know you would like a CCMP. A follow-up appointment with a nurse may be arranged to help complete your plan.
2. Your GP will assess your condition(s), work with you to set goals, and develop your personalised care plan.
3. Once completed, your GP will provide you with your plan and any necessary referrals.
4. You can then attend your approved allied health services. If you wish to change providers, you can contact the clinic to arrange an update to your referrals.
5. Regular reviews with your GP are recommended to monitor your progress and update your plan as needed.

Important Information

• Unless otherwise specified by your GP, referrals to allied health services are valid for 18 months.
• If you had an existing GP Management Plan (GPMP) or Team Care Arrangement (TCA) before July 2025, these will remain valid until 30 June 2027.
