Heart, lung and other complex health conditions

Get support to manage your health and reduce trips to hospital

This service is for people who have one or more long-term health conditions and often need to go to the hospital.

Chronic conditions like diabetes, heart failure, or lung disease can affect your everyday life. They are often difficult to manage on your own. Our team works with you, providing treatment, education and advice to help you understand and manage your health.

You’ll work with a coordinated team that may include doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists, social workers,  and care coordinators. Together, we’ll work with you to learn how to stay healthy at home, avoid hospital visits you don’t need, and get the right help when you need it.

Our complex care service can help you:

• manage ongoing and complex health conditions
• avoiding unnecessary hospital visits
• learn how to monitor and manage your symptoms
• understand medications and treatments
• set health goals that matter to you
• have a better quality of life
• navigate health services and community supports
• access suitable exercise and rehabilitation programs
• get support for your family and carers.
