As of 1 July 2025, the way we deliver care plans is changing with the introduction of the new GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) under Medicare.

A New Care Planning Landscape

Care plans have long empowered patients in managing their chronic conditions and taking back control of their health. 

As we move into a new era of care planning, practice management systems have yet to release updates that support the new framework. To bridge this gap, we’ve developed a practical, nurse-led template that’s easy to use and aligns with the latest requirements. It’s a simple, effective way to stay compliant and continue delivering high-quality, patient-centred care with confidence.

These changes also present a good opportunity to reflect on how you approach care planning for veterans. Are you familiar with DVA care plans and the Coordinated Veterans’ Care Program? If not, don’t stress, we’ve also developed an online Navigating the CVC program course that offers clear, practical guidance to help you feel supported every step of the way.

  • S. Kerr, Practice RN

    “I have had the privilege of beginning my nursing career with Steffi as my mentor. Initially, I had felt overwhelmed completing care plans however, following Steffi’s care plan training and having her care plan handbook accessible, I am now able to complete care plans with confidence, to a higher standard, and ensuring I follow all relevant guidelines. I cannot recommend Steffi’s workshop enough!”

  • N. Mann, Practice RN

    “I’ve had almost 20 years of practice nursing experience and been to so many courses in that time on chronic disease management from Benchmarque and APNA, and I can confidently say this workshop far surpasses anything I learnt from the others. I have a lot more confidence in preparing and performing care plans and health assessments now; as well as lots of information to share with my general practice. The manual is an amazing resource.”

  • T. Callow, Practice RN

    “I have been involved in General Practice for many, many years, in multiple roles and yet I found this course to be mind-blowing in how Steffi has been able to improve documentation and the approach to Chronic Disease Management. Anyone working in this environment would benefit from doing this course, especially with the predicted changes commencing 1/11/2024. Thank you Steffi, you are a legend!”

  • E. Wilson, Practice RN

    “Before receiving guidance by Steffi for care plans, I had no confidence and second guessed myself after every care plan. I was missing information every time. I had pre-shift anxiety before every chronic disease management (CDM) day I had. However, after receiving her teaching and knowledge I began to feel more confident when completing each care plan or health assessment and stopped second guessing myself. No more pre-shift anxiety too! I am now able to also confidently teach new nurses in GP or even just give newer insight on how to complete care plans! Would highly recommend this workshop to anyone and everyone no matter your experience or level of nursing. Definitely a 10/10 from me.”

  • K. Allan, Practice RN

    “As a care plan beginner, I think your course has given me better insight into the complex world of EPC & a solid foundation on which I can build on going forward.”

Our Mission

At Care Plan Training, our mission is rooted in firsthand experience with the pressures of working in general practice. Nearly a decade ago, as a novice nurse facing the complexities of GP work, the urgent need for practical, accessible training that goes beyond theory was heavily recognised.

We are committed to transforming the landscape of primary care nursing by providing comprehensive support and actionable guidance. Our goal is to empower health professionals of all experience levels with the skills, tools, and confidence they need to excel in delivering high-quality patient care.

Through tailored workshops and easy-to-follow process manuals, we focus on practical solutions that simplify care planning, optimise the use of practice management software, and eliminate the overwhelm of traditional courses. No more stress from weeks of learning on the job or trying to implement complex chronic disease management lessons without real-world guidance.

Our dedication is to foster resilience, expertise, and efficiency in every healthcare practice we touch. Together, we aim to transform challenges into opportunities and raise the standards of patient care across general practice.
