In 2023, many RACHs applied for Telehealth grants. If you did receive a grant, please note the Telehealth Grant Impact Statement reporting is now overdue. You should have received multiple reminder communications from CCQ.
Telehealth Support Grants are part of the Commonwealth’s response to Aged Care Reform. The grants increase the availability and use of telehealth for residents living in aged care homes and reduce avoidable hospital presentations.
If you received a Telehealth Grant at your RACH, completing the Online Impact Statement not only fulfills the mandatory requirement of the Telehealth Grant process, but also allows you to highlight the positive outcomes you have achieved. Your input will also help us measure the effectiveness of the program, guiding future efforts for digital health programs.
As previously shared, we have compiled the following resources to support you throughout this process:
- Grant Guidelines document
Annexure A – Telehealth Technology options brochure
3. Annexure B – Considerations for Telehealth - Telehealth webinar recording
- Telehealth toolkit
If you have any difficulties with your equipment or data collection or would like additional support, please contact your Healthy Ageing Coordinator via olderpersonshealth@c2coast.org.au
