Chronic Conditions

Chronic Disease Management

Helping You Best Manage Your Health

Most people experience complex health complaints throughout their lives, especially as they age. The good news is that many conditions are manageable.

Chronic conditions are those that a visit or two to your doctor won’t fix.

Doctors at our clinic have extensive experience treating patients for:

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
Arthritis
Asthma
Cancers
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes (Type 1 & 2)
Iron deficiency
Strokes

If you’re eligible, your GP can arrange a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP). For more information, take a look at our GPCCMP fact sheet.

These Medicare-subsidised plans guide treatment for chronic and complex medical conditions that have been present for more than 6 months.

Your GP can help you access appropriate treatment for you or your loved one’s complex health needs. Please call us on 8579 6838 for an appointment or book online.
