Did you know that when healthcare professionals take short-term placements in remote NT communities with NTRLP, they’re not just filling a roster gap, they’re sharing knowledge, building local capacity and learning from community-led models of care.

Every NTRLP locum becomes part of a collaborative effort that strengthens Aboriginal Medical Services and supports long-term, culturally safe healthcare delivery.

Together, we’re helping create a stronger, more connected remote health workforce.

Last month, our team visited locums and community partners across the NT, including the beautiful communities of Hermannsburg (Ntaria), and Amoonguna.

Spending time with local health teams, listening to their experiences and hearing how our locums are supporting culturally safe, community-led healthcare is always a highlight.

These visits remind us why NTRLP exists, to strengthen partnerships, support local services and ensure care is accessible where it’s needed most.

A huge thank you to the Hermannsburg and Amoonguna communities for the warm welcome and for the incredible work you do every day.

On this day, we remember Cathy Freeman’s iconic Olympic victory, a moment of unity, pride and inspiration for all Australians.

Her courage and determination continue to inspire us as we deliver healthcare that uplifts, empowers and supports First Nations communities across the Northern Territory.

Just as Cathy’s story reflects resilience and strength, so too do the everyday stories of Aboriginal Communities across the Territory, whose determination continues to drive our work.
