Northern Territory Primary Health Network (NT PHN) is pleased to announce that as of 1 July 2025, the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Program has officially launched.
The MDT Program aims to improve access to coordinated care for people living with chronic Pulmonary, Cardiac and Diabetes conditions in Darwin and Alice Springs by reducing out-of-pocket costs for allied health services and support programs.
NT PHN CEO Paul Connolly welcomes the launch of the program “By reducing the financial burden of accessing care and fostering a more connected primary healthcare system, we can help Territorians manage chronic conditions more effectively and live healthier lives,” Paul says.
If you are a general practitioner or work in private practice, you need to be aware of the changes this program brings and how to correctly refer a patient. Our website contains all the necessary information and resources to ensure you have a good understanding of the MDT Program.
If you are interested in obtaining support through the MDT Program as a patient, you will need to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements. Visit our website for a detailed list of the support you can receive and whether you are eligible for the program, or talk with your doctor.
We are excited to continue improving access to essential Allied Health care in the Territory and look forward to seeing the positive impact the MDT Program has in this area.
