Since becoming involved in health systems development in Australia I have led research into the more effective management of patients with chronic and complex illness. Currently I am involved in education and population-based prevention programmes for patients with chronic illness and our teams are developing a range of interventions to manage existing conditions better and to prevent the early onset of preventable chronic illness. In the past 10 years the Australian Government has invested heavily in the management of chronic illness and our task now is to manage our programmes for chronic illness care sustainably and within the new and innovative sources of funding now available for care planning, education and self-management support.
