For referring practitioners
A referral pathway your patients will actually follow through on
GP Chronic Condition Management Plan and DVA referrals, telehealth-compatible, with feedback back to your practice.
How to refer
GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) referrals are accepted for eligible Medicare-supported allied health services, alongside DVA referrals and private referrals. Telehealth is available where an in-person visit isn't practical for your patient.
Why practices refer here
Consultations in English, Hindi and Punjabi remove a real barrier for many patients, and clinical training in CBT/DBT/ACT means patients with a psychological dimension to their eating — not just a metabolic one — are genuinely supported, not just handed a diet sheet.
