ITC/Marrabinya

What is the ITC Program?

The Integrated Team Care or ITC program, funded by the Australian Government, aims to improve outcomes for Aboriginal people who are living with a chronic illness, through localised access to coordinated and multidisciplinary care.

 

As of 1 January 2023, the ITC Program in far west NSW will be available to Aboriginal people with a chronic disease via their local Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS) if that’s where they normally access their health care; and for Aboriginal people who access their health care through a GP practice, ITC will be provided by Maari Ma Health Aboriginal Corporation under the Marrabinya banner.


What is the Marrabinya?

Since 2016, the ITC program has operated under the banner of Marrabinya across all of western NSW.  However from 1 January 2023, Marrabinya will only operate in Broken Hill, Central Darling, Wentworth and Balranald local government areas, and the Unincorporated Far West for Aboriginal people with a chronic disease who access their health care via a general practice.
