Indigenous Australians' Health Programme - PHC Program (For Organisations Currently Outside the PHC Funding Model)

Overview

The PHC program under the IAHP is to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through the following:  the delivery of primary health care services tailored to the needs of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, 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 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 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). Application is by invitation only as this is a closed, non-competitive grant opportunity. The Australian Government has invited eligible applicants to apply for grants under the Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme - Primary Health Care Activity (GO3199). This grant opportunity will provide these organisations an opportunity to continue to receive funding for the provision of primary health care. Current funding under the PHC program is due to expire on 30 June 2020.
