Urban Specialist Outreach Assistance Program (USOAP)
USOAP supplements current service delivery gaps to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in urban locations, specifically Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) - remoteness Areas (RA) 1 and 2.
USOAP seeks to improve access to specialists, GP’s and allied health professionals for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australian with a chronic disease.
Chronic diseases which are targeted under USOAP are chronic disease that has been, or is likely to be, present for at least six months, including but not limited to asthma, cancer, cardiovascular illness, diabetes mellitus, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke.
