Increasing access to healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with chronic disease. This program includes all Indigenous people with chronic disease, regardless of geographical location.
Chronic conditions account for 70% of the total health gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians.
The Medical Outreach Indigenous Chronic Disease Program (MOICDP) increases access to a range of health services, including expanded primary care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for the prevention, diagnosis and management of chronic disease, where chronic disease is defined as ‘a condition that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer. The MOICDP is part of the Indigenous Australian’s Health Programme (IAHP), alongside Healthy Ears – Better Hearing Better Listening (HEBHBL) Program and Eye and Ear Surgical Support Program (EESS).
MOICDP Objectives:
- Increasing access to multidisciplinary care in primary healthcare settings
