We have robust preceptorship, supervision, and mentoring programs to ensure healthcare professionals have the support they need to thrive. These programs provide hands-on learning, practical guidance, and the confidence to deliver exceptional care in diverse settings.

We are strengthening our partnerships with Flinders University and Charles Darwin University, and we provide even greater opportunities for students in medicine, nursing, paramedicine and allied health. Our aim is to double the number of student placements by 2027, creating a pipeline of skilled professionals ready to serve our communities.

Recognising the critical role Aboriginal Health Practitioners play in improving outcomes for Indigenous communities, we are launching a dedicated training program by 2026. This program will not only enhance cultural safety but also provide new career pathways for aspiring practitioners from Indigenous backgrounds.

To ensure the long-term sustainability of the healthcare workforce, we are working with local schools to offer work experience and career exposure programs. These initiatives will inspire high school students to consider rewarding careers in healthcare and provide them with a clear pathway to enter the profession.

Cultural safety is at the heart of everything we do. We will implement mandatory cultural competency training for all staff and students, equipping them with the skills to deliver respectful and inclusive care that meets the diverse needs of our communities.

We are enhancing the range of services available at the clinic, with a focus on expanding allied health support by 20% by 2027. This includes targeted improvements in chronic disease management and mental health services to address the Northern Territory’s most pressing health challenges. In addition, telehealth plays a vital role, in bridging the gap between remote communities and high-quality healthcare, ensuring continuity of care regardless of location.

Our approach is deeply community-centred, working closely with Indigenous and multicultural groups to co-design services that reflect the cultural and practical needs of the population. Initiatives such as wellness programs and health screenings are driving early intervention and promoting long-termwellness.

Through partnerships with Flinders University and Charles Darwin University, the clinical so serves as an educational hub. Clinical placements for students in medicine, nursing, paramedicine, allied health, and Aboriginal Health Practitioner training offer real-world experience in integrated care settings. This approach not only supports workforce development but ensures that tomorrow’s healthcare leaders are trained in collaborative, patient-centred care.

We are developing innovative care models designed to reduce chronic disease-related hospital admissions by 15% by 2026. These models focus on prevention, early intervention, and coordinated management, delivering the right care at the right time to improve overall community health.

To meet the growing demand for urgent care, we have extended clinic hours and increased staffing capacity, enabling the clinic to provide affordable, efficient care while reducing unnecessary visits to emergency departments. These enhancements are designed to maintain high standards of service and ensure patients receive timely treatment close to home.

Cultural responsiveness is central to our approach. We work closely with Indigenous and multicultural communities to deliver tailored care that addresses their unique needs. By integrating follow-up care with primary healthcare providers across the region, we improve continuity of care, reduce repeat visits, and build trust within the community.

Innovation is key to meeting the urgent care needs of our diverse population. We are incorporating telehealth follow-ups to enhance care continuity and satisfaction while developing forward-thinking models that break down silos between health systems. These initiatives leverage our role as an educational hub, fostering integrated multidisciplinary practices that improve communication, streamline patient flow, and deliver culturally appropriate care.

The clinic aligns with the Primary Health Care Reform Agenda, addressing gaps in urgent care access and ensuring services are available for vulnerable populations. By working with strategic partners, we are creating sustainable, patient-focused models of care that improve health outcomes across the Northern Territory.

Working closely with indigenous organisations, multicultural groups, and health leaders, we are co-designing care models and preventive health programs that reflect cultural traditions and address community-specific priorities. This collaborative approach ensures that the services we deliver are relevant, respectful, and impactful.

Community engagement is central to our strategy. We are establishing a consumer advisory group and hosting regular forums, we are creating a platform for community voices to guide and inform our services. These initiatives help us remain responsive to local priorities while fostering trust and collaboration.

Our focus on prevention includes targeted health campaigns and education initiatives to promote early intervention and wellness. We are increasing participation in preventive health programs by 30% over the next three years, and leveraging mobile clinics and telehealth services, we will expand our reach to underserved and remote areas, ensuring essential care is accessible to all.

Cultural safety is at the heart of our operations. All staff undergo cultural safety training, and culturally inclusive practices will be embedded across every level of service delivery. These efforts ensure that our care models promote health equity and address systemic barriers to access.
