Manage your chronic health condition with expert support and Medicare rebates.
At Healthsmart Exercise Physiology, we help eligible patients access Medicare-funded exercise physiology services under the Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM). Our tailored programs are designed to improve strength, mobility, and quality of life for people living with long-term conditions.

What Is the Medicare Chronic Disease Management Plan?

The Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, previously known as the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program, is a Medicare initiative that provides rebates for allied health services — including exercise physiology — for people with one or more chronic medical conditions.

Eligible patients can access up to 5 Medicare-subsidised sessions per calendar year, which may include treatments from different allied health professionals.

Who Is Eligible?

To qualify for a CDM referral from your GP, you must:

• Have a chronic medical condition (lasting or expected to last 6 months or more)

• Be managed under a GP Management Plan (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangement (TCA)

• Receive a written referral from your general practitioner for exercise physiology services
