Indigenous Health Workforce Traineeships Program
The Indigenous Health Workforce Traineeships (IHWT) Program is designed to support traineeships in health workforce roles for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working in Aboriginal community controlled health services.
The Department of Health will fund the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) affiliates, or equivalent organisations, to administer the IHWT program on behalf of the Department, including administering the payment of funds to participating health services to support trainees.
The key objectives of the program are to:
• Increase the number of skilled Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander aged and primary health care sectors.
• Create viable career pathways in health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
• Build the capacity of eligible services to provide culturally appropriate health care to its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients.
