For Queenslanders living in rural and remote communities, access to primary and preventative healthcare services are all too often out of reach. With the support of approximately 150 contracted health providers, CheckUP is committed to improving health outcomes for people living in rural and remote locations, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, bringing healthcare closer to home.
Our latest video encapsulates the impact Outreach Health Services have on the people and communities that need them most. Our dedicated Outreach providers not only provide communities with ongoing, consistent face-to-face health services, but build relationships and ties with the people and communities they serve.
Hear from local community members, Outreach providers and local health facility staff as we collaborate to bring Healthcare closer to home.
We would like to thank the teams from CWAATSICH, Wakai Waian Healing, Institute for Urban Indigenous Health, Clements Medical and Women’s Health Circle for being part of our video.
The Outreach health services program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care as the jurisdictional fundholder in Queensland.
