The Integrated Team Care (ITC) Program has long been providing care coordination and support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with chronic health conditions.
Recent changes to the provision of ITC services on Bundjalung Country in northern NSW will affect many people receiving services through the program.
Clients who previously received care coordination through Bulgarr Ngaru Medical Aboriginal Corporation will now receive ITC services through Rekindling the Spirit Health Service. This includes ITC services accessed through referral by mainstream GPs from Tweed Heads to Grafton.
Rekindling the Spirit Health Service is currently working to contact all eligible clients and will manage all new referrals to the program.
Please share this important information with affected ITC clients. If you have urgent health concerns about people who may be affected by this change, please contact Marilyn Tolman at Rekindling the Spirit Health Service on 0490 848 486.
Healthy North Coast would like to take this opportunity to thank Bulgarr Ngaru and recognise their contribution to the health and wellbeing of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community through provision of the ITC Program.
