About the program
If you have cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease and/or lung disease, the Closing the Gap Integrated Team Care (ITC) program can help you to stay healthy and strong for your family and community.
Our program adopts a team approach. Both Outreach Workers and Care Coordinators will work with you to support your access to medical care and other culturally appropriate health and community services.
Working together, our team can help you to develop self-management skills to better manage your chronic health condition and live a healthier life.
The Closing the Gap ITC program is delivered in metropolitan Adelaide, Gawler-Barossa, Yorke Peninsula & Mid North South Australia.
