About RAHC
The Remote Area Health Corps (RAHC) has been established to strengthen primary health care services in remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. By working in close collaboration with the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory (AMSANT) and the Northern Territory Department of Health and Families (NT DHF) we are able to provide support by responding to their requests for recruitment of specific primary healthcare professionals.
Through successful engagement of doctors, registered nurses, dental and allied health professionals on short term assignments, we will be able to strengthen the Expanding Health Service Delivery Initiative that aims to deliver long term, sustainable improvements in the NT primary health care system.
RAHC is committed to making a significant contribution to improving Indigenous Health. This commitment extends to include open consultation with existing health service providers and Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, along with key stakeholders at a national level.
RAHC was established under a contract awarded by the Department of Health and Ageing, Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health to Aspen Medical Pty Ltd in October 2008.
