Health Planning and Ongoing Care

Personalised Health Goal Planning

At Mooney Street Medical, we provide health planning and ongoing care to support patients and families with consistent, coordinated GP care over time. This service focuses on prevention, monitoring, and long-term management of health conditions, not just treating problems as they arise.

Our experienced GPs take the time to understand your medical history, current concerns, and ongoing care needs, allowing us to provide structured, proactive healthcare that adapts as your circumstances change.

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.

Located within 10 km of Gulliver, Mooney Street Medical is a smaller, family-orientated practice known for long-standing doctors, experienced staff, and a calm, welcoming environment.

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.

Who Is This Service For?

Health planning and ongoing care are suitable for patients of all ages and life stages. It is particularly beneficial if you:

  • Have one or more chronic medical conditions

  • Require regular follow-up or monitoring

  • Want structured preventive health care

  • Are managing multiple health concerns

  • Have children and value continuity of care

  • Prefer seeing GPs who know your medical history

  • Want coordinated care rather than fragmented appointments

Our family-orientated approach ensures care is practical, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual needs.
