GP Chronic Condition Care Plans (GPCCMP)

Living with a long-term health condition can be challenging, but having the right support can make managing your health easier. A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) is designed to help people with ongoing conditions receive coordinated, personalised care from their GP and other healthcare professionals.

What Is a GP GPCCMP?

A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) is a structured care plan for people living with a chronic medical condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, six months or more. Plans often cover conditions such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain, osteoporosis, and mental health conditions associated with ongoing physical illness.

The GPCCMP was introduced on 1 July 2025, replacing the previous GP Management Plan (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangement (TCA), creating a simpler approach to coordinated healthcare. The new framework makes it easier for patients to access the services they need to support continuity of care.

Why a GPCCMP Matters

A GPCCMP helps your GP understand your health goals and needs, identify potential risks, and coordinate care between different healthcare providers. By having a documented plan in place, you and your healthcare team can work together to manage your condition more effectively and respond to changing health needs over time.

Your plan may include:

  • A summary of your medical history and current health concerns
  • Personal health goals
  • Recommended treatments and monitoring
  • Referrals to allied health professionals when appropriate
  • Scheduled reviews to assess your progress

Accessing Allied Health Services

Support Beyond Your GP

One of the key benefits of a GPCCMP is access to Medicare-subsidised allied health services when clinically appropriate. These services can play an important role in helping you manage symptoms, improve mobility, build healthy habits, and maintain your quality of life. Depending on your condition and care needs, your GP may refer you to allied health professionals such as:

  • Physiotherapists
  • Dietitians
  • Podiatrists
  • Exercise physiologists
  • Occupational therapists
  • Diabetes educators

Who Is Eligible for a GPCCMP?

You may be eligible for a GPCCMP if you have a medical condition that has been present, or is expected to be present, for six months or longer. To support continuity of care, patients registered with MyMedicare generally access their GPCCMP through their registered practice. Your GP at Goldfields Family Medical Centre will assess your individual circumstances and determine whether a plan is appropriate for your healthcare needs.

Regular Reviews Are Important

A GPCCMP is not a one-time document. Regular reviews and updates help ensure your care remains aligned with your health goals and current needs. Reviews allow your GP to monitor your progress, update treatments and referrals, identify new health concerns, and adjust management strategies as required. Reviews can occur every three months with your GP.

Keeping Your Plan Up to Date

At Goldfields Family Medical Centre experienced GPs can assess your eligibility for a GPCCMP, develop a personalised care strategy, and coordinate referrals to appropriate healthcare professionals. So, if you’re living with a chronic condition and want to learn more about your options, speak with your GP.
