Why do our so called health professionals not advise you that you are eligible for things??Not one of them told me I was eligible for a Care Plan/Team Care Plan. I found out thru this wonderful group. My GP organised a Care Plan for an exercise Physiologist after I asked him for it but did not tell me I am actually eligible to also access a Remedial Massage Therapist, Podiatrist & Dietitian as part of a Team Care Plan, which I feel I could really benefit from. Talk about frustrating!!!!OK rant over now.Looking forward to my first Exercise Physiologist appointment tomorrow :)

I have had the same issues, I thought it would be different if I lived in the city. This group keeps us informed, sisters doing it for themselves

Mine didn't tell me either and I live in the heart of Melbourne! As I have lymphoedema, anything that reduces costs is useful.

@"Kim R" & @Afraser I live Melbourne suburbs & am under The Northern Hospital & was told nothing, I feel very let down by them.Thankfully we have this Group of wonder ladies & the Admin Team that help us & point us in the right directions & I am going to push for the other services I mentioned above as I really feel I could benefit from them in my quest to be able to run 10km instead of 5km..

EPC are available to anyone with a health issue. I used to be an exercise physiologist before I became a teacher and I feel our services were very underrated and we're seen as the poor man's physio. Unfortunately not a lot of GP's had enough of an idea about what we could do in as little as 5 sessions or what our role in rehabilitation was. I'm glad you have now found this service.

@ccasper I am parkrunning tomorrow morning them have the appointment at lunchtime & I must say I am very excited at the prospect :) Lots of people think I am weird but I feel keeping as fit as I can gives me the best possible chance.My boys call me supermum :)
