The Australian Disease Management Association provides a forum and advocacy for the disease management industry to promote programs which improve chronic condition outcomes and quality of life and reduce acute healthcare utilisation and costs. The not-for-profit association represents all stakeholders in the industry and educates healthcare organisations, providers, funders and healthcare policy makers on disease management.

There are currently many disease management initiatives under way across Australia. These are occurring in the private and public sectors and are being funded by state and commonwealth government initiatives, grants and service negotiations. There are various models or components to Disease Management which include self-management, behaviour change, health risk assessments, disease specific programs and programs for complex co-morbid patients. Disease Management is in its infancy with many stakeholders and interested parties. As such an association to provide leadership and resource is timely
