Chronic Disease Management

At Paterson Healthcare, our doctors provide personalised care plans for patients managing long-term or complex health conditions. During your consultation, we assess your ongoing health needs and may prepare a GP Management Plan (GPMP) or Team Care Arrangement (TCA) to support your care journey.

These Medicare-supported plans give eligible patients access to Allied Health Professionals—such as physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians, podiatrists, and exercise physiologists—up to five times per year. These services are designed to help manage conditions like diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and more.

Our nursing team is here to guide you through the process. They will review your health history and check your eligibility based on current Medicare criteria, ensuring you receive coordinated, continuous support for your chronic health needs.

Your Gateway to Better Health

If eligible, our nursing team will arrange a session to assist you in developing your GPMP and TCA, along with the necessary Allied Health Referral.

We will provide health services during this process, collect necessary data, and collaborate with other healthcare specialists involved in your treatment. This entire process usually takes only 30 minutes, and shortly after, you will receive your Allied Health referral.

In situations where direct communication with other healthcare professionals is not feasible, there may be a slight delay, but we assure you that we will expedite the process.

We're pleased to inform eligible patients that appointments with our doctors for GPMP and TCA preparations are now completely bulk-billed. If you have a valid Medicare card, there will be no out-of-pocket expenses, ensuring greater accessibility.

Continued Care and Convenience

Moreover, you'll be eligible for a fresh plan every 12 months, presenting another opportunity for five subsidised Allied Health consultations (with a maximum of five per calendar year).

So, take a step towards improved chronic disease management and embrace the benefits of our Professional GP Care Plans.

With our team of independent, compassionate experts, you may take the first step toward better health and happiness.
