Chronic condition management plan – type 2 diabetes (PI07)

This indicator is the proportion of First Nations regular clients with type 2 diabetes who had a chronic condition management plan prepared within the previous 24 months.

PI07 is collected for males and females in age groups from 0–4 to 65 and over and presented here for males and females in age groups:

  • under 35
  • 35–44
  • 45–54
  • 55–64
  • 65 and over.

There have been changes to the specification of this indicator over time. For more information see Interpreting nKPI data.

Why a chronic condition management plan is important

Much of the burden of disease among First Nations people is due to chronic conditions. Effective management of chronic conditions can delay the progression of disease, decrease the need for high-cost interventions, improve quality of life, and increase life expectancy. The development of a chronic condition management plan is one way in which appropriate care can be planned.

At June 2025, 54% of (or around 26,500) First Nations regular clients with type 2 diabetes had a chronic condition management plan prepared within the previous 24 months (Figure 32).

The data visualisation below (Figure 32) shows, for each collection period from June 2017 to June 2025, the proportion of First Nations regular clients with type 2 diabetes who had a chronic condition management plan prepared within the previous 24 months. Select by either:

  • organisation type
  • remoteness
  • state/territory
  • age group/sex

to see data for that breakdown.

Overall, the proportion of First Nations regular clients with type 2 diabetes for whom a Chronic condition management plan was prepared within the previous 24 months generally increased between December 2022 and June 2025.

Notes

  1. In December 2020, specifications changed for this indicator and data from that point on cannot be compared with previous periods. For more information see Interpreting nKPI data.
  2. A break is included to separate out the periods most affected by voluntary reporting and the peak of COVID-19 and associated emergency response measures. This break, however, is not a clean break as each indicator in the nKPI collection has an assigned time frame (a reference period) as part of its specification. For this indicator, which has a reference period of 24 months, data in collection periods for December 2022 (covering 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022), June 2023 (covering 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2023) and December 2023 (covering 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023) still overlap with the peak of COVID-19 and associated emergency response measures. For more information see Comparisons over time.
  3. The linear trend lines provide a general impression of the direction of the data. Caution should be taken interpreting trends with less than 5 data points. See also Figure 31 for trends for selected data.
