Welcome to the FAQ page for the NT Pathways to Community Control program. Below, you'll find answers to some of the most common questions about transitioning to Aboriginal community control of health services. If your question isn’t answered here, feel free to contact us for more information.
The program supports Aboriginal communities in transitioning their comprehensive primary health care services from NT Health to Aboriginal community control, fostering self-determination and culturally safe care.
Community control ensures that Aboriginal communities have decision-making power over their health services. This leads to improved service accessibility, cultural safety, and better health outcomes.
The program is led by the NT Aboriginal Health Forum (NTAHF) in collaboration with AMSANT and the NT Government.
Start by consulting the Transition Guide on our Information Hub and engaging with your community. The first formal step is to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to NTAHF.
AMSANT is available to guide communities through the process, from consultation to completing the necessary documentation.
Our Information Hub offers guides, templates, case studies, and more to help communities understand and navigate the transition process.
The EOI outlines your community’s interest in transitioning and includes details about your consultation process, support for the transition, and the proposed model of care.
NTAHF will review your EOI, assess community readiness, and guide you on the next steps, which may include developing a business case.
The timeline varies based on the community's readiness, consultation progress, and governance arrangements.
Yes, endorsed organisations can apply for funding through the NT Pathways to Community Control program to support transition activities.
AMSANT offers guidance on consultations, documentation, and governance setup, ensuring a smooth transition for communities.
