SUPPORT BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS

Chronic Care Support Program

Book a free discovery callRefer a patient

Because life doesn't always go to plan. We provide practical, ongoing support to help you make your healthcare plan work in everyday life.

The hard part often starts after the appointment

You leave an appointment with good intentions. You understand the advice. You want to feel better and manage your health. Then everyday life gets in the way.

Energy drops. Pain flares up. Stress takes over. Routines become difficult to maintain.

You are not failing. Managing an ongoing health condition can be difficult without ongoing support.

More information isn't always what you need. Sometimes, you need practical support to act on what you already know.

Support to help you follow through

The Chronic Care Support Program helps you turn healthcare recommendations into practical actions that fit your everyday life.

With structured weekly support, you'll work on:

  • Identifying your priorities.
  • Setting realistic goals.
  • Planning practical actions.
  • Working through barriers.
  • Reviewing and adjusting your approach.


The focus is on what you can do, how to do it and how to keep working towards it.


Small steps. Real support. Steady progress

The program

Across a structured 50-week program, weekly 60-minute online group sessions provide patients with ongoing behavioural support to translate agreed care plans into realistic actions, overcome barriers and sustain progress between consultations.

01

Focus

Start with the recommendations already agreed with your GP or healthcare team. Together, identify what matters most right now.

02

Plan

Turn your priorities into one or two small, achievable actions for the week ahead.

03

Act

When motivation drops or life gets in the way, we help you recognise what's holding you back and find realistic ways forward.

04

Review

Look at what worked, what didn't and what you learned. Every week is an opportunity to understand your habits and build confidence.

05

Adjust

Your health, energy and circumstances change. We help you adapt your actions so you can keep moving forward without having to start again every time life gets difficult.

Not everything at once. Not perfection. Just steady progress.

60minutes each week

For GPs and Practice Nurses

Giving patients support to follow through on your care plans. A simple way to extend the support you already provide, helping patients put their chronic care plans into practice between appointments.

01

Clinical direction stays with you

You establish clinical priorities and practice nurses coordinates the patient's chronic care plan. We work alongside that existing care, not in place of it.

02

We turn recommendations into weekly action

We help patients translate agreed health goals into realistic, manageable actions across medication routines, food, movement, sleep, stress and daily habits.

03

We work through the barriers

Through weekly 60-minute group sessions and CBT-informed coaching, patients receive ongoing guidance, accountability and help navigating the barriers that interrupt progress.

04

Strengthen follow-through

Across 50 weeks, patients build routines, work through setbacks and develop greater consistency in managing their health between clinical reviews.

Functional Medicine Practitioner. Member of the Institute of Functional Medicine, Nutritionist & Registered Counsellor

Chronic Care is delivered by Melinda, whose experience brings together counselling, behavioural health, health and wellness coaching, nutrition and functional medicine, alongside more than 18 years working within general practice.

As the owner and director of a high-volume general practice, Melinda understands both sides of chronic care: what the clinical team is trying to achieve and what patients are being asked to carry once they return home.

That perspective shapes the program. Recommendations need to remain clinically appropriate, but they also need to survive contact with work, family, stress, energy, habits and the ordinary unpredictability of life.
