For family & carers

The care team of someone you care for is meeting — and you're invited

Their GP has organised a case conference: a short, secure video meeting where the health professionals involved in their care plan it together. You're welcome to join — because you see what the clinicians can't.

What is a case conference?

A team meeting about their care

A case conference is a short, secure video meeting where their GP and other health professionals — specialists, allied health, mental health — come together to review their care and plan the best way forward.

The goal is to make sure every part of their health is looked after in a coordinated way — fewer mixed messages, fewer repeated tests, and a team that's genuinely on the same page.

Their GP coordinates the conference and decides which clinicians take part. Conference.care simply provides the secure platform that makes it easy to bring the team together.

Why you're invited

Because you see what the clinicians can't

You observe how they cope day to day — their energy, their mood, how they manage between appointments. That perspective matters.

Together or on their behalf

You can join the meeting, send another family member, or let the team meet without you — whatever works best.

It only happens with their consent

The person you care for has agreed to this meeting. Your involvement is always with their knowledge and permission.

Nothing to prepare

Their GP leads the conversation and knows their history. Just bring any observations or questions you'd like to share.

You choose how to take part

Join for all of it, just listen, or skip it entirely and hear the plan from their GP afterwards — it's completely up to you.

You don't need to attend for the conference to go ahead. Your perspective is valued, but the team can meet without you and share the outcomes through their GP.

What to expect

Three simple steps

Their GP coordinates the conference. Conference.care handles the logistics — scheduling, the video link and the paperwork.

1

You receive an invitation

Their GP's practice sends you a link with the date, time and how to join the meeting.

2

The team meets securely online

Health professionals discuss their care, share insights and build a coordinated plan — you're welcome to listen or contribute.

3

The GP shares the plan

Their GP talks through the outcomes and next steps — with them and with you, if appropriate.

93%

of patients in a recent study believe coordinated care had a positive effect on their health.

Cost & privacy

No cost to anyone — and their privacy is protected

Case conferences are fully covered by Medicare. There are no gap fees and nothing for you or your family to pay. Only relevant information is shared with the care team, and the person you care for can withdraw consent at any time.
