One plan, one team.
A chronic condition management plan turns good intentions into a schedule: what to check, when, and who is helping.
Nearly half of Australians live with at least one chronic condition. The difference between a condition that is controlled and one that causes complications is usually consistent, planned care. Dr Mohammed Hossain has more than thirty years in general practice and focuses on complex and chronic conditions including heart, gut and kidney disease.
Chronic condition management plans
If you have a condition expected to last six months or more, your GP can prepare a management plan. It records your conditions, medicines, goals and the checks you need, and coordinates care with other providers. Eligible patients then receive Medicare rebates for up to five allied health visits each year, including our on-site physiotherapists and dietitian.

Our dietitian Ms Anagha Chaudhari supports meal planning and weight, and your GP coordinates referrals for eye checks, podiatry and diabetes education. Type 2 diabetes prevention is also part of what we do.
