Clinical Concierge − support when you need it most

For members who need a little extra care and support.

To support you through the challenges of COVID-19, all members now have access to our CBHS Clinical Concierge Wellbeing Line on
1300 977 081 between 9am-6pm (AEST) Monday to Friday. We can help you to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system, identify your health requirements including those that are not being met and provide you with access to support and resources to meet your health goals.

Who is Clinical Concierge for?

Clinical Concierge focuses on our most vulnerable members. This is likely to include those who are:

Over 65
Living alone
Have one or more chronic conditions
Have been hospitalised or needed to go to the emergency department in the past 12 months.

The program is especially helpful for people with chronic or complex conditions and a history of hospital visits. This could include diabetes, asthma, heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

If you or someone you know might benefit from Clinical Concierge, please contact the CBHS Health and Wellness team on wellness@cbhs.com.au or call 1300 174 534.

What happens when Clinical Concierge calls?

A clinician takes you through a basic health assessment. This is to help us understand your health issues, clarify what you might need and identify any health goals you might have.

The clinician can then identify the level of support you need.

If you’re travelling well and you don’t need anything, we’ll wish you well and leave you in peace.
If you need a bit of help, we’ll work out what you need and schedule a follow-up call to check how you’re doing.
If you need more support, we’ll refer you to one of the healthcare professionals at our partner, CarePoint. Depending on the level of care you need, CarePoint will support for you for four, six or 12 months.

How do you know the caller from Clinical Concierge is legitimate?
