Toolkit simplifies steps to providing culturally safe care in general practice

Enhance your practice’s ability to provide culturally safe care and generate extra revenue with the new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Toolkit for General Practice.

Created by SWSPHN’s Priority Populations team, this toolkit offers comprehensive guidance to help you create a welcoming environment for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander patients.

What’s inside the toolkit:

• government initiatives and practice incentive payments (CTG, PBS co-payments)
• MBS 715 health assessment details
• support for chronic conditions through the Integrated Team Care (ITC) program
• training opportunities
• steps to implement a culturally safe practice
• supporting First Nations patients with self-identification
• checklists for receptionists, practice managers, nurses and GPs

Download the toolkit now and start implementing culturally safe practises. We recommend forming a working group within your practice to review and delegate the steps outlined in the guide.
