Abstract
Gawa community is a very remote Aboriginal community on Elcho Island, 600 km from Darwin by air and has had a long association with the Northern Institute. Community leaders Dr Guthadjaka A.M. and her husband Colin Baker have been active partners in the project: Developing a simple, robust telehealth system for remote communities. This $1.6 million project is supported by the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA).
The project team use the theory of collaboration (common goals, collaborative leadership, distributed power, shared decision-making, time, nurturing, good communication, relationship-building, shared learning, trust-building and networking) and an agile management approach to facilitate project activities and deliver project outcomes.
Collaboration is resource-intensive, but the benefits may provide remote communities with increased access to primary healthcare and improve health outcomes. Can this community-driven collaboration implementing telehealth be sustainable, generate on-community jobs and be part of the solution to “Close the Gap” in remote health?
