About our Outreach Programs
CheckUP administers a diverse range of visiting Outreach services across Queensland that are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health.
The Outreach Programs include:
- Medical Outreach Indigenous Chronic Disease Program (MOICDP)
- Rural Health Outreach Fund (RHOF)
- Healthy Ears – Better Hearing, Better Listening (Healthy Ears)
- Visiting Optometry Scheme (VOS)
- Eye and Ear Surgical Support (EESS).
RHOF, MOICDP, Healthy Ears, VOS and EESS offer a more flexible funding stream in the provision of medical specialist, GP, and allied health professional services to urban, regional, rural and remote locations, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Funding through these programs is available to cover the out-of-pocket travel and administration expenses associated with the delivery of the Outreach service. Please refer to the Outreach Service Delivery Standards for the IAHP programs or the RHOF Service Delivery Standards for more information.
