About the review
In September 2022, we engaged Ninti One Limited, in partnership with First Nations Co., to review sector funding arrangements and service provider capability for:
- First Nations mental health and suicide prevention services
- the Integrated Team Care program.
These services are delivered through commissioning bodies for example, Primary Health Networks and other health organisations.
The review considered how we can best deliver these services in a way that supports the National Agreement on Closing the Gap.
