Integrated team care - previously known as closing the gap program

Program overview

The Integrated Team Care program provides free support for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people to improve the management of chronic health conditions (including cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, lung disease and others). The program is delivered from three sites across the Adelaide region, working at the local level by engaging with community, health care providers, and Aboriginal organisations.

Each service delivery team comprises of clinical Care Coordinators and Aboriginal Outreach Workers collaborating closely with a range of service providers (including medical specialists, doctors, and allied health practitioners) to improve access to culturally responsive multi-disciplinary care. The program adopts a team-based and consumer focused approach, connecting consumers with services, whilst also building consumer capacity for the effective self-management of chronic conditions
