Care Coordination Program (ITC)
Care Coordination and Supplementary Services
If you're living with a long-term health condition, extra support is available through the Care Coordination and Supplementary Services (ITC) program.
This program helps eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients manage their chronic condition with the support of a care coordinator. The goal is to make it easier to access the right care, at the right time — in a way that’s culturally safe and meets your needs.
You may be eligible if you’ve been diagnosed with one of the following chronic conditions for six months or more:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Cancer
- Chronic respiratory illness (like asthma or COPD)
- Chronic kidney disease
- Diabetes
Our care coordinators work alongside you and your health team to connect you with:
- Specialist or allied health services
- Medical aids or equipment
- Health education and support
- Services that can help with managing appointments and follow-up care
This program is available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Echuca-Moama area no matter which GP or clinic you normally visit.
Getting started
To access the program, your GP will need to refer you using the Care Coordination referral form, along with a GP Management Plan or Team Care Arrangement.
Funding support
Eligible clients may be able to access Supplementary Services Funding to help cover the costs of follow-up care or medical equipment. This funding is limited and must be approved by the Murray Primary Health Network, which can take up to five days.
