Overview

The Department of Health (the Department) is undertaking a review of the Practice Incentives Program Indigenous Health Incentive (PIP IHI). This review aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the PIP IHI to support general practices to provide culturally appropriate health care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with chronic disease.

The public consultation process was finalised in July 2019 and included 26 written submissions from peak bodies and other health service providers. The Department also engaged consultants ThinkPlace to conduct face-to-face consultations, with 68 stakeholders participating nationally.

The Department is finalising the PIP IHI review to improve its efficiency and effectiveness, with advice to Government to be provided in late 2019. If you have any questions or comments regarding the PIP IHI review, please direct them to indigenousphcpolicy@health.gov.au
