In the Northern Territory (NT), demographic and geographic conditions have a significant impact on the provision of health and community care services. The NT has only 1 % of the Australian population dispersed over an area almost 116th of the continent. Indigenous people represent 28% of the NT population and live mainly in small, widely dispersed rural/remote communities. These people have the worst health status of any group in Australia particularly in relation to the growing incidence of chronic diseases. As a result, the provision of health and community care services across urban, rural and remote areas of the NT is extremely diverse; reflecting the need to address Indigenous health within the wider context of service provision for the total NT population.
