This service forms part of our health and lifestyle management approach and is suitable for patients seeking continuity of care, chronic condition management, and practical lifestyle support, all in a way that fits real life, not just a checklist.

What Is Health Planning and Ongoing Care?
Health Planning and Ongoing Care is a GP-led, coordinated approach to managing your health across the short and long term. It considers the whole person, including physical health, mental wellbeing, lifestyle factors, family circumstances, and future health risks.
Your care may include:
Preventive health checks, screenings, and immunisations
Ongoing management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and arthritis
Regular monitoring and review of existing health issues
Children’s health care, development checks, and vaccination schedules
Coordination with allied health professionals when required
This structured approach helps ensure your care remains clear, consistent, and well-coordinated.
