Flu is a serious disease and it often hits our mob that have pre-existing chronic conditions hard. Protect yourself this flu season and make sure you get your flu jab. Dont forget that ITC is here to help get Aboriginal people with a chronic disease the care they need: medical specialist appointments and gap fees, transport, accommodation, medical aids, nutritional supplements... talk to your health worker or GP.

Hey you mob: do you have a chronic disease like diabetes, COPD or heart disease and need help getting to specialist or allied health appointments? Or need aids to help with day to day life? Talk to your health worker or GP about whether you are eligible for assistance through ITC. If you normally get your care from an AMS, talk to them. If you see a GP somewhere else, they can refer you to ITC which is provided by Maari Ma Health , Yoorana Gunya Family Healing Centre Aboriginal Corporation , Orange Aboriginal Medical Service , Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service and Coonamble Aboriginal Health Service .

The ITC program is now delivered differently across western NSW. 👣 If you are a First Nations person with a chronic disease and you get your care from an AMS, go and speak to your health worker there about supporting you to access the specialist and allied health care you need to stay well. And if you normally access care through a GP practice, you will be referred for specialist and allied health care support to one of 5 AMSs across the region: Maari Ma Health, Yoorana Gunya, Orange Aboriginal Medical Service, Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service, Coonamble Aboriginal Health Service, depending on where you live.
