A Chronic Condition Management Plan (CCMP) from your GP is the key to accessing this support. If you have a condition like diabetes, arthritis, or persistent foot pain (lasting 6+ months), this plan helps you access a team of allied health professionals—including your podiatrist—to manage your health.
A CCMP is a personalised plan that you create with your GP. It’s designed for people with chronic or terminal conditions that have lasted, or are likely to last, for six months or more.
This plan replaced the older “Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP)” and “Team Care Arrangement (TCA)” in 2025.
The main benefit of this plan is that it unlocks up to five (5) Medicare-subsidised appointments per calendar year with allied health providers, such as your podiatrist.
Only your GP can determine if you are eligible and create a CCMP. You may qualify if you have a chronic condition that is being managed by your doctor.
Common conditions we treat under a CCMP include:
To find out, book an appointment with your GP to specifically discuss creating a CCMP.
Accessing your rebate is a straightforward process managed by your GP.
Book an appointment with your doctor to discuss your chronic condition and ask if you are eligible for a CCMP.
If you are eligible, your GP will create the plan and provide you with a referral form for podiatry services.
Call our Manly clinic or book online. Please let our team know you have a CCMP referral when you book, and remember to bring your referral paperwork and Medicare card to your appointment.
The CCMP provides a total of five (5) subsidised sessions per calendar year. These 5 sessions are shared across all allied health services your GP refers you to (e.g., podiatry, physiotherapy, dietetics). Your GP will decide how these are allocated.
A CCMP referral provides a significant Medicare rebate for your podiatry sessions. As rebate amounts are updated annually by Medicare, please ask your GP or our reception team for the current rebate amount at the time of your booking.
Yes. We process the full consultation fee at the time of your appointment. We can then process your Medicare rebate for you on the spot, and it will be paid directly into your nominated bank account. You are only “out-of-pocket” the remaining gap fee.
If you received a referral under the old Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP) or Team Care Arrangement (TCA) before July 2025, it remains valid until June 30, 2027. We still accept these valid referrals.
