Bringing healthcare back to Country: Visionflex technology to be showcased at the NACCHO Members’ Conference
Timely access to quality healthcare for Indigenous Australians is an important and on-going issue that can’t be ignored.
This year’s National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation’s (NACCHO) Members’ Conference will be held on 9 – 10 December in Sydney, bringing together community leaders and practitioners from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health sector, as well as delegates representing 146 Aboriginal community-controlled health organisations (ACCHOs) and eight state and territory affiliates.
Virtual care technology is a cornerstone of delivering care to remote communities and leading virtual care provider, Visionflex, is once again a proud sponsor of this years’ conference.
Visionflex will be showcasing the groundbreaking virtual care technology that is continuing to shape the health and well-being outcomes of First Nations’ communities across Australia.
Bridging the gap in Indigenous healthcare
Urapuntja Health Service delivers care across vast distances, with some patients travelling up to eight hours, and must balance ongoing primary care needs with limited on-site GP access.
These challenges reflect broader barriers faced by many First Nations communities: distance, limited local services, financial pressures, and cultural considerations.
Virtual care helps bridge this gap by enabling clinicians and carers to deliver timely, high-quality healthcare, no matter where people live.
Supporting community-led, on-Country care
Within the Urapuntja service model, Visionflex was selected as the clinical virtual health technology provider that enables safe, high-quality and clinically enabled remote GP consultations. Aspen Medical was selected as the health service delivery partner for Urapuntja.
The technology enables the community and its clinical teams to deliver care in a way that aligns with local governance, culture, and priorities.
Key Benefits for Urapuntja Health Service
- For patients, the impact is immediate and meaningful. Visionflex enables care on Country, dramatically reducing the need for long, costly trips off-community for routine consults.
- Remote GPs can assess heart and lung sounds, wound images and more, while patients build continuity with the same GP in a region where stability is rare.
- Nurses and allied health professionals can confidently lead examinations, with GPs supervising in real time across clinics, homelands, outreach visits and after-hours services.
The Visionflex platform brings security, sustainability and scale.
The platform’s encrypted platform and secure communication channels protect sensitive health data, while shared virtual care infrastructure supports multiple programs and services, maximising return on investment.
As Urapuntja expands its services, new devices, clinics or homelands can be added seamlessly with no need to rebuild or change platforms.
With Visionflex, Urapuntja Health Service is creating a stronger, more connected model of care. One that supports the workforce, respects culture, and delivers high-quality healthcare closer to home.
With obligation-free discovery calls and product demonstrations available, embedding a class-leading virtual care solution into your healthcare program has never been simpler or easier to access.
