Chronic Disease Management (CDM)

We can partner with you to support the valuable work that general practice provides in minimising the risks of complications and comorbidities associated with diabetes and other chronic conditions.

 

Did you know that your patients can access both Medicare funded and aged care funded allied health services?

 

How can ACH Group Support? 

> Chronic Disease Management Plan (item 721) and Team Care Arrangements (item 723)

Support for you in the care planning process as a part of the multidisciplinary, team-based care of your patient. ACH Group bulk bills allied health services under the Medicare CDM items and you can refer to the below allied health services through the care planning process:

  • Podiatry
  • Physiotherapy
  • Exercise physiology
  • Occupational Therapy


> Group allied health services for people with Type 2 diabetes (Item 81115)

Support for you and your patient to help them self-manage their diabetes through our group allied health services provided by our qualified and Medicare registered exercise physiologists.

 

> Exercise Physiology Assessment for Group Sessions (item 81110)

 

Other health services

Our allied health and nursing services are provided through our health and wellbeing team and we can support your patients with:

  • Injury management
  • Rehabilitation and re-ablement services to regain strength, functionality and mobility
  • Preventative health
  • Disease specific groups i.e. Parkinsons Disease, stroke recovery and dementia

  • We specialise in aged care services, so we understand your patient’s needs
  • Services can be delivered via ACH Group clinics located across metropolitan Adelaide
  • Your patients pay no gap under Medicare funded services

How is it funded?

ACH Group celebrates Luisa's two decades of volunteering 🥳🎨🤩

Luisa Centofanti has just chalked up a remarkable 20 years of volunteering at Milpara Residential Aged Care Home – and she’s not done yet.

Having walked into Milpara as a volunteer for the first time on February 4, 2005, Luisa has spent countless hours supporting residents with cooking, art and gardening activities.

She said she gets out as much as she puts in and hopes she still has another five years left in her.

“The mind is still willing it is just as long as the body is able,” she laughed.

“It is the people that keeps you coming back – there is no better feeling than spending your time to make other people feel good.” 💚

ACH Group Volunteer Services Manager Charlotte Carmody said Luisa’s tenure as a volunteer was quite extraordinary.

"If you ever needed to see the power of volunteering and the impact one person can make you only need to look at Luisa,” she said.

“20 years is an incredible milestone and just goes to show how volunteering can get under your skin and become a lifelong passion.

“Across ACH Group we have more than 120 remarkable volunteers who, like Luisa, do such much to foster companionship and support social connection.”

Thinking of volunteering? ACH Group offers volunteering opportunities within our community, residential, social, health, and housing programs and services as well as special events. You can register to become an ACH Group volunteer by visiting: bit.ly/3EHvmZa

Captured in these photos, Luisa is seen with Art Lead Sylvia Reitenbach in Milpara’s Art Room, sharing a moment with Bessie, one of Milpara’s talented artists, and with Charlotte Carmody, Volunteer Services Manager.
