IAHP: Primary Health Care (PHC) Program (For Organisations Currently Outside the PHC Funding Model)

Overview

The aim of the PHC  Program under the Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme (IAHP) improves health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through the following: delivery of primary health care services tailored to the needs of First Nations communities, including culturally-appropriate clinical services, a range of population health services, and activities that support the delivery of essential clinical services;   improving access to antenatal care and child, maternal and family health services by First Nations children, their mothers and families; the prevention, detection and management of chronic diseases; investment in priority health areas in regions of high health need or population growth; and improving the clinical effectiveness of the health system and supporting sustainable, long term service reform delivery and improvement through Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). Current funding under the PHC program is due to expire on 30 June 2024. This grant opportunity will provide eligible organisations an opportunity to continue to receive funding for the provision of primary health care.  This is a closed non-competitive grant opportunity based on the need to ensure continuity of essential primary health care in communities where primary health care services are currently delivered. Funding under this grant opportunity will be available from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 with a possible extension for a further one-year grant duration (from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026). A review will be undertaken of these organisations to determine funding arrangements beyond 30 June 2025. Eligible organisations will be notified should the extension option be exercised.  To view the grant opportunity documents, please select the red "Grant Opportunity Documents" button on the left-hand side.
