At Wholistic Health Centre, we believe quality care should be accessible to everyone—especially those managing chronic conditions. If you have a valid GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for selected allied health services at Wholistic Health Centre.
*Bulk billing is currently available for eligible student and pensioner patients only. Other eligible patients may still access a Medicare rebate under a valid GPCCMP referral, depending on the service and appointment type.
From 1 July 2025, Medicare has updated the Chronic Disease Management program:
The previous GPMP (General Practitioner Management Plan) and TCA (Team Care Arrangement) are now referred to as the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP).
Existing GPMPs and TCAs remain valid until 30 June 2027.
You must have had a planning or review appointment with your GP in the past 18 months to be eligible.
Eligible patients with a valid GPCCMP referral may access Medicare rebates for the following allied health services at Wholistic Health Centre:
Chiropractic
Physiotherapy
Exercise Physiology
You may be eligible if:
You have a chronic medical condition that has lasted 6 months or longer.
Your GP has prepared a GPCCMP referral for allied health treatment.
You haven’t already used your 5 subsidised visits for the current calendar year.

A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, or GPCCMP, is a referral pathway prepared by your GP for eligible patients with chronic health conditions. It was formerly known as an EPC or CDM plan.
If your GP decides that allied health care is clinically appropriate, they may refer you for selected services such as chiropractic, physiotherapy, or exercise physiology. A valid GPCCMP referral may allow you to claim Medicare rebates for eligible allied health appointments.
Yes, you may be able to claim a Medicare rebate for chiropractic care if you have a valid GPCCMP referral from your GP.
Eligibility depends on your condition, your GP’s assessment, the referral provided, the appointment type, and whether you have remaining Medicare-subsidised allied health visits available for the calendar year.
Yes, eligible patients may be able to access physiotherapy through Medicare with a valid GP Chronic Condition Management Plan referral.
Your GP will need to assess whether physiotherapy is suitable for your chronic condition and include it as part of your care plan. Medicare rebates may then apply to eligible physiotherapy appointments.
Yes, exercise physiology may be eligible for a Medicare rebate if your GP refers you under a valid GPCCMP.
This may be suitable for patients managing chronic conditions where supervised exercise, strength, mobility, rehabilitation, or lifestyle support forms part of the treatment plan. Your GP will decide whether exercise physiology is appropriate for your condition.
Yes. To claim a Medicare rebate for chiropractic, physiotherapy, or exercise physiology under a GPCCMP, you need a valid referral from your GP before your appointment.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, speak with your GP first. You can also contact Wholistic Health Centre before booking so our team can explain what referral paperwork to bring.
Eligible patients can generally claim Medicare rebates for up to five allied health visits per calendar year under a GPCCMP.
These visits are shared across eligible allied health services. For example, your GP may allocate visits between chiropractic, physiotherapy, exercise physiology, or other eligible allied health providers depending on your care needs.
If you have already used some or all of your five visits for the year, this may affect your ability to claim further Medicare rebates.
