Our Programs
Funded by GPEx, the GP Supervisor for Aboriginal Health provided direct clinical services to six rural and remote clinics and supervised 6 GP Registrars across eight locations in the 2020-2021 reporting period. Face to Face visits have continued throughout the COVID 19 pandemic. The position also provides AHPRA supervision for an IMG in Ceduna and supervision/mentoring for ACRRM specialist pathway.
As part of AHCSA Member Support, the Program continues to improve the uptake of Aboriginal Health Checks (715) and development of GP Management Plans (721). It provides tangible support to the GP workforce at participating rural ACCHSs, together with systems support for clinical governance.
The program has significantly increased the uptake of Aboriginal Health Checks in the ACCHSs involved in the program and continues to expand.
