Outreach provider information

The Outreach programs would not be possible without the commitment and dedication of our contracted health service providers. As Outreach providers you play a crucial role in creating healthier communities, reducing health inequalities, and bringing health services to regional, rural and remote locations throughout Queensland.

Below is key information on Outreach provider reporting requirements and essential training, as well as links and resources you may find useful for your work as a provider.

Training modules

Child safety

As part of the Outreach contracting process CheckUP require that all contracted providers comply with child safety requirements consistent with the Commonwealth Child Safe Framework. Learn more about the e-learning modules.

Cultural responsiveness

Upon execution of an Outreach Service Contract and prior to the commencement of service delivery, all providers are required to obtain appropriate cultural responsiveness training and complete a Cultural Competency Checklist.

Access for All: Disability Awareness for Mainstream Health Providers

Outreach providers are encouraged to undertake CheckUP’s Access for All training. The free, online course increases awareness and provides strategies to overcome the barriers people with disability experience accessing mainstream healthcare. Learn more about the course here.

Cultural safety and responsiveness

Cultural safety and responsiveness are paramount for health organisations working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as it acknowledges and addresses the historical and ongoing disparities in healthcare outcomes. By adopting culturally safe practices, organisations can create an environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people feel respected, heard, and understood, leading to improved trust and engagement in healthcare services. This approach helps to bridge the gap in health outcomes, promoting equity and supporting the overall wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

CheckUP encourages our Outreach providers to undertake practical, action-based and solution-focused training, so they can improve their capability to meet the health and wellbeing needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We facilitate this through working with Indigenous Allied Health Australia to organise training for Outreach providers as part of the contracting process.

Below are resources that Outreach providers may find useful.

Child safety

CheckUP is committed to providing a safe environment, where children, young people, families, and communities feel safe and are confident that children and young people’s rights, needs and interests are met, with particular attention paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability. Below are relevant resources for Outreach providers related to child safety.
