Background
NACCHO has been provided with an objective from the Commonwealth Government National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) to support Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) to optimise Medicare Benefits Schedule claiming practises and utilisation of other primary care funding sources such as Practice Incentive Payments.
Purpose
This is to strengthen the sectors capacity to deliver high quality, responsive, and culturally appropriate health services contributing to improved health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Courses
A number of courses are available for free to anyone working within the ACCHO sector:
- ACCHO Orientation
- Medicare in ACCHOs
- Practice Incentive Items
- National Key Performance Indicators
We acknowledge the diverse knowledge levels within the ACCHO sector, so we’ve structured the course to allow participants to navigate through the sections that are most pertinent to their needs. This course is a resource that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
Continuing Professional Development
These courses are fully accredited by the:
- Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP),
- Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM), and
- National Association of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Workers in Health Practice (NAATSIWHIP).
Upon completion, participants will receive a Statement of Attendance to recognise their achievement.
