The Allied Health in Remote Schools Project (AHRSP) is funded as part of the Australian Government’s Plan to Improve Outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People with Disability, which was developed to facilitate better access to culturally appropriate mainstream service for Indigenous people living with a disability.
The Australian Government has provided funding to CheckUP to manage the AHRSP for the life of the project. The AHRSP involves the provision of allied health services to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students living with disability in remote schools.
The aim of the AHRSP is to improve school attendance and engagement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students living with disability, developmental or learning difficulties in remote communities.
This service is currently being delivered in Papunya and Yueddumu communities.
