How can the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Health Assessment (MBS Item 715) become more than just a checklist? This interactive workshop will explore the purpose, value and practical application of the 715 Health Assessment in mainstream general practice, with a focus on delivering culturally safe, person-centred care that supports improved health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

Designed for GPs, Practice Nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers, Aboriginal Health Practitioners, Practice Managers, Reception Staff and other primary healthcare professionals, this workshop will examine how high-quality health assessments can support early identification of health needs, strengthen therapeutic relationships, improve care coordination, and contribute to Closing the Gap outcomes. Participants will hear from clinical experts and people with lived experience, explore real-world case studies, and identify practical strategies to improve patient engagement, assessment quality, follow-up care and practice systems.
