REPS Movement: Your Medicare-Subsidised Exercise Physiology Care Plan Specialists

Medicare-subsidised exercise physiology services can provide a number of benefits for people with chronic health conditions or who are at risk for chronic health conditions. 

GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)

From 1 November 2025, GP management plans and team care arrangements were replaced by a single GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), prepared by your GP.

Eligibility for Medicare Rebates

If your GP prepares a GPCCMP and refers you, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for allied health services related to your condition.

What is a GPCCMP?

A GPCCMP is a written plan with your goals, actions and referrals, prepared by your GP in person or by video.

 

How to Get a Medicare Rebate

  1. Ask your GP whether a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan is right for you.

  2. Book at our Willagee or Canning Vale clinic.

  3. Take your referral to REPS Movement.

  4. If you have type 2 diabetes, your GP can also assess whether group exercise physiology services are suitable. Up to eight group services per calendar year are available.

Your Medicare Gap

REPS Movement has a $15 gap on all Medicare services.

In Summary

  • A Medicare rebate is available for a maximum of five services per patient (ten for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients) each calendar year.
  • Patients must have a GPCCMP prepared or reviewed in the previous 18 months.
  • Referrals to allied health providers must be from a GP or prescribed medical practitioner.

About Chronic Medical Conditions

A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke.

There is no list of eligible conditions; however, these plans are designed for patients who require a structured approach, including those requiring ongoing care from a multidisciplinary team.

Whether a Patient is Eligible

A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) is for people with one or more chronic medical conditions who would benefit from a structured approach to their care. A chronic condition is one that has been, or is likely to be, present for at least six months, or that is terminal.

There is no fixed list of eligible conditions. Your GP decides whether you are eligible, based on your condition and care needs.

A few things to know:

  • If you are registered with MyMedicare, your plan needs to go through the practice where you are registered.
  • A GPCCMP is not available to people living in a residential aged care facility. Allied health services are available to them through a multidisciplinary care plan.
  • To keep accessing allied health services under your plan, your GPCCMP must have been prepared or reviewed in the last 18 months.

Referrals for Allied Health Services

If your GP prepares a GPCCMP and refers you to us, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on up to five individual allied health services per calendar year (ten for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients). The services must be related to your chronic condition and be part of your plan.

Your GP or prescribed medical practitioner will give you a referral letter. You don't need to fill in the older referral forms. If you have type 2 diabetes, your GP can also assess whether group exercise physiology services are suitable for you. Up to eight group services per calendar year are available.

If you had a GP Management Plan or Team Care Arrangements before 1 July 2025, your existing referral stays valid until the services on it are used, as long as they are completed by 30 June 2027. When your plan is next due for review, your GP will move you to a GPCCMP.

Your GP decides what is right for you, so speak to them about whether a plan would suit you. To learn more, read the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing factsheet.

Group services for type 2 diabetes

If you have type 2 diabetes and a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, your GP can assess whether group services are suitable for you. These can be run by an exercise physiologist, dietitian or diabetes educator. If they're suitable, you can claim Medicare rebates for up to eight group services per calendar year.

REPS Movement Testimonials

How Our Care Plan Has Helped People Improve Their Health and Fitness

We're committed to helping people improve their health and fitness. Here's what some of our clients have said about how our care plan and exercise guidance has helped them.

Meet Coral, a valued member of our community who has experienced firsthand the transformative power of a referral from GP under a Care Plan. Coral's journey is a testament to the effectiveness of our services at REPS Movement in partnership with healthcare providers. Let's hear from Coral and discover how our Accredited Exercise Physiologists have played a crucial role in improving her health and well-being.

How has the doctor's care plan helped your exercise goals and overall health?

For the first half of this year, I was struggling with my health because of long Covid and the long-term effects of old injuries. The doctor’s care plan has allowed me to have expert exercise physiology advice and support for five sessions. This has helped me to gradually rebuild my fitness and resilience.

Have you noticed specific fitness or health improvements with the care plan and exercise program reviews?

Because of long Covid I became quite deconditioned and had significantly reduced fitness, muscle strength and stamina. Old injures were also flaring up. The targeted exercise program has allowed me to gradually rebuild my muscle strength, improve my range of movement and increase my overall fitness. Having Murray explain the physiology principles and provide encouragement also helped my psychological wellbeing.

How do frequent reviews with the exercise physiologist keep you motivated and accountable?

Frequent reviews ensure that you are doing the exercises correctly, allow you to review your progress and increase your exercise load in a supervised way so that you continue to improve.

Can you share any positive health outcomes from the combined care plan and exercise guidance?

Having a combined care plan and personalised exercise program gives you confidence and encourages you to keep working towards your health goals. While I still have a way to go, my strength, stamina and range of movement have all improved significantly and I am confident that I will continue to improve.
