Local general practices, including medical services in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, will be able to apply for up to $100,000 to adopt enhanced models of care that also strengthen the health system in supporting a multidisciplinary team.

The funding will be awarded to up to 20 general practices to implement or embed models of care focusing on cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and/or diabetes complex care coordination, including early intervention.

The tender opens on Friday, 30 January and closes Friday, 20 February.
