The Integrated Team Care Program (ITC), funded by SWSPHN, supports access to services for Aboriginal people with chronic disease throughout South Western Sydney. ITC is also known as Aboriginal Chronic Care program.
The Program is delivered by South Western Sydney Local Health District’s Aboriginal Chronic Care team (SWSLHD). Through the program, SWSLHD provides continued support to clients across all seven local government areas in our region and maintains established linkages with acute and primary care.
