Did you know there are Health Plans for chronic medical conditions? Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plans are available for individuals dealing with conditions that persist for at least six months, such as asthma, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or stroke.

We offer care plans to all eligible patients who suffer from a chronic illness with little or no cost for Medicare card holders. If you require assistance in managing your condition, consult your GP to determine if a plan is suitable for you.

05/02/2024

What is a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan?

The Australian Government introduced the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan to provide extra financial support through Medicare for individuals dealing with chronic or terminal medical conditions.

You might be eligible for a CDM Plan referral if your chronic or terminal medical condition requires care from a team of healthcare providers, including your GP and at least two others.

A chronic medical condition is one that has been around for six months or more, like asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions, or stroke. There's no specific list of eligible conditions. The CDM Plan is designed for patients who need a structured approach, especially those requiring ongoing care from a team of healthcare experts.

Your GP can help determine if you are eligible for a plan.

Are you staying hydrated?
Your body needs water to survive and work properly.

Water is essential for:
πŸ’§ Digesting food and absorbing nutrients
πŸ’§ Moving our bodies well
πŸ’§ Getting rid of waste products
πŸ’§ Keeping our body at the right temperature
πŸ’§ Drinking water also keeps your teeth and mouth healthy

You can tell if you are well hydrated by the colour of your urine. If it's pale yellow or straw-coloured, you are probably well hydrated. If it's darker yellow, you need to drink more water ... see chart below πŸ‘‡

If you are showing any signs of dehydration, drink some water straight away and seek medical advice if you still don't feel better.
