Living with a long-term health condition can feel like a lot to manage on your own. At Coomera Town Medical Centre, we work alongside you to help manage chronic conditions through regular monitoring, personalised care plans and practical support, so you can focus on living well.

Ongoing Support for Long-Term Health Conditions
Chronic conditions are health problems that last for an extended period and often need ongoing care. With the right support, many people manage their condition well and maintain a good quality of life. Our approach focuses on partnership, helping you understand your condition, stay on top of reviews, and make changes that fit your life.
What Is Chronic Disease Management?
Chronic disease management is a structured, ongoing approach to caring for long-term health conditions. Rather than treating problems only as they arise, it focuses on regular review, prevention of complications, and coordinated care between your GP, specialists and allied health professionals. The aim is to help you stay as well as possible and to catch any changes early.

GP Care Plans and Coordinated Care
For eligible patients with a chronic condition, your GP may prepare a care plan. A care plan sets out your health goals, the care you need, and how different members of your healthcare team will work together. In some cases, a care plan can also help you access Medicare-subsidised allied health services, such as a dietitian, physiotherapist or podiatrist.
Your doctor will explain whether a care plan is right for you and what it involves.
