The real question
Is it working?
Is it working?
Not “have we done the plan” but “has anything changed”. Numbers, symptoms, how you are actually managing, and what has got in the way.
Home Services Care plan reviews
The review is where the value is.
Writing a care plan is the easy part. The review is the appointment that asks whether it is actually working — and it is the one most often skipped.
Open Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 5:00pm. No referral needed to see a GP.

Questions
Care plan reviews questions.
How often should a care plan be reviewed?
It depends on the condition and how stable it is. The plan itself sets the interval, and having that appointment booked is much of the point.
Is a care plan review bulk billed?
Yes, where you meet the Medicare criteria and hold a valid Medicare card.
What should I bring?
Every medicine you take, ideally in the box, plus any results or letters from other providers since your last review.
Do I need a review if nothing has changed?
Usually yes. Plenty of important changes produce no symptoms at all, and the review is where they get found.
Can the review be done by telehealth?
Sometimes, depending on what needs checking. Ring reception and ask.
