Book online →Care plan reviews that actually change things.
A care plan written once and filed away helps nobody. The review is where you and your GP look at what happened, what worked, and what the next few months should look like.

The part of the plan that does the work.
Writing the plan is the beginning. Reviewing it is how a chronic condition stays controlled.
If you have a GP Management Plan or Team Care Arrangement for a chronic condition, Medicare funds regular reviews with your GP. A review is a dedicated appointment that looks back at the goals you set, checks the numbers, and resets the plan for the period ahead.
What gets reviewed
Your measurements and results, whether the treatment goals were met, how you found the allied health appointments, whether medicines need adjusting, any new symptoms, and whether the goals themselves still make sense. Sometimes the honest answer is that a goal was unrealistic, and changing it is the right outcome.
Good to know
Reviews also renew your allied health referrals. If your physiotherapy or dietitian sessions have run out, the review is how the next block is arranged.

How often reviews happen
Most people have a review every three to six months, depending on how stable the condition is and what Medicare allows for your plan type. Our practice sends reminders when yours is approaching, and our nursing team often does the measurements before you see the doctor.

If things have changed a lot
A review is also the moment to raise anything that has shifted: a new diagnosis, a hospital admission, a medicine that is not agreeing with you, or a change at home that makes the plan harder to follow. Plans are meant to move with you.
What a review covers.
A structured appointment, not a rubber stamp.

Common questions.
Questions about reviews.
Usually every three to six months. Your GP will tell you what suits your condition, and we send a reminder when the review window opens.
Generally yes. Allied health referrals under a care plan are issued in blocks, and the review is where the next block is arranged.
That is still worth knowing, and it is often a sign the plan is working. The review confirms the numbers, renews referrals and resets the timeline.
Some elements can, for eligible patients, but reviews that need measurements or an examination are better in person. Ask reception when booking.
No. MyMedicare is voluntary and free, but it does help link your chronic condition care to this practice and make the cycle easier to manage.
