    Professional support for rural, remote and First Nations providers

    The Department of Health and Aged Care can provide free professional support for First Nations, rural and remote aged care providers is available through the Service Development Assistance Panel.

    The COTA Queensland Sector Support and Development Team recommends that eligible providers apply for this support. We are aware of a number of providers who have enhanced their capability, viability and readiness for the reforms after participating in this program.

    It helps providers in 3 areas:

    • capability and support
    • sector development
    • infrastructure project management.
    Rural and remote providers in MM 4-7 locations and First Nations providers in any location are eligible if they deliver:
    • residential aged care​
    • home care​
    • services funded under the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care program​.
