Result: Integrated Team Care (ITC)

ITC can help people manage chronic health conditions by providing approved medical aids and equipment identified in their care plan and covered under national ITC guidelines.

Our ITC team also supports attendance at specialist and other health-related appointments as part of the care plan.

To access ITC care coordination, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must be enrolled in chronic disease management with an Aboriginal Medical Service, GP, or private practice, have a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), and be referred by their GP.

Use the WA ITC Program GP Referral Form and send it with the GPCCMP; client consent is part of the form.

Result: two programs fit, ITC and ICDC

Both programs support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with long term conditions, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients are a priority for ICDC. You can refer to either.

ITC: any age. Adds practical supports such as medical aids and help getting to appointments. Referral is GP only. Use the WA ITC Program GP Referral Form and send it with the GPCCMP; client consent is part of the form.

ICDC: 18 and over. Care coordination plus podiatry, dietitian and diabetes educator in one team. Use the ICDC Referral Form, tick Care Coordination, the services needed, and attach the GPCCMP.
Open the ICDC Referral Form

Care coordination itself can only come from one program at a time; the ITC form asks about existing coordination, for example ICDC, an NDIS plan or an aged care package. Send whichever referral fits best and intake will sort the rest with you.

First step: a GPCCMP is needed

Both coordination programs work to a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, so that comes first. Yarn with the client's GP about writing one. Interim options exist for both: ITC can accept an arrangement with the GPCCMP to follow within three months, and ICDC can start once Boab has asked the GP for the plan and holds evidence of the request.

Unsure? Ring Broome 08 9192 7888.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Podiatry, ICDC and ITC referrals need a current GP Chronic Condition Management Plan. For dietetics and diabetes education, attach one if it exists; the referral can proceed without it. Mental health referrals use their own assessment attachments instead.

The GPCCMP replaced GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements from 1 July 2025. Existing plans made under the old arrangements remain valid during the transition, so send what the client has and note it on the form. If you are unsure, ring intake and ask.

No. The Medicare cap of five rebated allied health services per calendar year applies to services billed under chronic disease management. Boab Health’s funded services sit outside that cap, so referring here does not spend those sessions.

Allied health referrals are triaged into the four priority bands above, from 1 to 14 days through to 120 days. For mental health and ITC referrals, our intake team follows up with you directly after the referral arrives. Ring us if you need to know where a referral is up to.

For mental health, yes: Low Intensity Therapy accepts self referral, and any referrer can send the form with the client’s consent. Allied health needs the referral form, which any health professional can complete. ITC is GP referral only.

Send the referral anyway with a note, or ring first. If a service is not the right fit we say so quickly and point you to the door that is, rather than letting the referral sit.
