Eastern Melbourne PHN is seeking requests for tender for chronic disease support services.
The service will provide an evidence-based self-management program to patients with chronic disease, and primary care capability support. Initially the service is to be provided to patients in the Whittlesea LGA, with expansion of the program in 2017/18 to also include Monash and Banyule LGAs in the EMPHN catchment.

- chronic heart failure;
- chronic kidney disease;
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;
- osteoarthritis/rheumatoid arthritis;
- asthma;
- type 2 diabetes; and/or
