Integrated Team Care (ITC) Program Next Steps

Overview

We want to hear from First Nations organisations and stakeholders of the Integrated Team Care (ITC) program about the proposed approach and timeline for transition to the First Nations community controlled sector.

The ITC program is a flagship national program funded under the Indigenous Australians’ Health Program (IAHP) since 2016. The ITC program aims to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with chronic health conditions through better access to coordinated and multidisciplinary care.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (the department) is working with the First Nations health sector to determine a path to transition funding arrangements for the ITC program to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled sector.

We think the survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. We encourage participation from organisations, groups or alliances with relevant experience or a vested interest in taking leadership of ITC in future models.
