Understanding the latest changes in Chronic Disease Management

Posted Sunday 15 June 2025 | Northern Queensland Primary Health Network

From 1 July 2025, significant changes to Chronic Disease Management (CDM), as part of the Strengthening Medicare reforms, will come into effect. This 90-minute webinar will cover what is changing, why these reforms are being introduced, and how general practice can adapt to deliver better, more efficient care.

Other topics covered include the transition to a single Chronic Condition Management Plan, equalised MBS fees, simplified referral processes, and the removal of mandatory collaboration requirements. You will also learn about the role of MyMedicare in supporting continuity of care, and how this is a redesign – not a funding cut.

Presented by Dr Walid Jamal and Dr Paresh Dawda.

A real-world case study will demonstrate how practices can prepare by implementing quality improvement initiatives, updating workflows, and enhancing patient engagement strategies.
