1.8: Chronic Disease Management

Implement the Chronic Disease Strategy.

Other Information:

Chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, cancer, stroke, and heart and vascular disease place a severe burden on individuals, their families and carers and the health system as a whole. To improve the management of chronic diseases and service planning and delivery, the ACT Government has developed a Chronic Disease Strategy. Prepared in consultation with stakeholders, the strategy complements the national framework and the directions of the Council of Australian Governments’ health reforms.
