If you have a chronic condition, you may also be suitable for a GP management plan, othewise commonly known as a "care plan." If you have a chronic disease meeting certain eligibilty criteria, you may be able to access a "care plan" which will help you access up to 5 subsidised visits to an allied health professional per calender year.
