The ITC program aims to improve chronic disease outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by improving access to primary health care, including culturally appropriate mainstream services, and by providing care coordination and access to brokerage funds (Supplementary Services) for eligible patients.

The ITC program is currently being implemented via a dual commissioning model, through Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and mainstream general practices. This approach originally aimed to deliver effective ITC implementation by enabling choice, recognising the diverse service delivery environment in North Queensland, and broadening the reach of the program.
