Nt Remote Locum Program

The NT Remote Locum Program took over from RAHC which was established in 2008. The Australian Government Department of Health funds the program under The Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme: Stronger Futures Northern Territory to “address persistent challenges to accessing primary health care services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait people in the Northern Territory”. The NT Remote Locum Program is designed to increase the pool of urban-based Health Professionals (HPs) available for work in Indigenous communities by attracting, recruiting and orienting them and then providing ongoing support and training to successfully assist the health professional to make the transition to remote practice. We target General Practitioners, Registered Nurses and Midwives, Dentists, Dental Therapists, Dental Assistants, Audiologists, and other Allied Health Professionals.
