Learn more about In-Home Exercise Physiology For Chronic Disease.
A person who has a chronic or terminal medical condition can have a GP Management Plan (GPMP) service. A person with a chronic or terminal medical condition and complex care needs, requiring care from a multidisciplinary team, can have a GPMP and Team Care Arrangements (TCAs).
A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke. There is no list of eligible conditions.
However, a Chronic Disease Management Plan is designed for patients who require a structured approach to their care and to enable GPs to plan and coordinate the care of patients with complex conditions requiring ongoing care from a multidisciplinary team.

Exercise Physiology services are now recognised by almost all private health funds and substantial rebates are available (dependent on your level of cover). We recommend you contact your health fund to ensure you are eligible for Exercise Physiology services.

- Progression of prescribed exercises
- Review of goals and measurements
