Multidisciplinary Team Program

Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Program

‍

Helping you manage your diabetes, with a team by your side

Living with diabetes can mean seeing different health professionals and keeping track of appointments, tests and ongoing care. The Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Program is a free service designed to make this easier by bringing your healthcare providers together to support you and your health.

The program works alongside your existing healthcare providers - it does not replace them.

How can the program help me?

When you join the MDT Program, you’ll have a dedicated Allied Health Clinical Lead who will help coordinate your care and be your main point of contact.

The program can help you:

• stay connected with the different health professionals involved in your care
• keep track of appointments and your annual diabetes cycle of care with a personalised MDT Health Passport
• regularly review your progress and work towards your health goals
• access social and emotional wellbeing support through Lives Lived Well, if you choose
• access up to four Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) each financial year at no cost, helping you better understand your blood glucose patterns while reducing the cost of accessing CGM technology.

Am I eligible?

You may be able to join the program if you:

• have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes
• are 18 years or older
• live in Stonehenge, Jundah, Windorah, Birdsville, Bedourie or Boulia.

You can be referred by an RFDS doctor, primary health clinic nursing staff, an NWRH allied health clinician, Lives Lived Well, a Diabetes Educator or a Healthy Outback Communities (HOC) Community Connector. You can also refer yourself.
