Northern Territory Primary Health Network (NT PHN) is committed in ensuring all Territorians enjoy their best health and wellbeing through an integrated, responsive primary healthcare system.

As a not-for-profit organisation funded by the Australian Government, we identify gaps in primary healthcare services and commission targeted solutions to address the unique needs of local communities. Our work within the Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) sector focuses on improving outcomes by addressing equity and empowering primary healthcare providers to deliver quality, culturally appropriate AOD prevention, harm minimisation and treatment services through effective partnerships.

NT PHN AOD’s key focus areas include funding programs for vulnerable populations, particularly remote education and training for the relevant professional and specialised workforce; integrating services between all parts of the health system; supporting the delivery of AOD programs using a social, emotional and wellbeing approach, and increasing the capacity of a dual skilled workforce (dual diagnosis of mental illness and AOD use).

Our strong relationships with regional primary healthcare stakeholders, such as general practitioners, allied health professionals and Aboriginal community-controlled health services, allow us to collaborate on innovative solutions and embed positive change.



NT PHN maintains a territory-wide presence with offices in Darwin, Alice Springs and Katherine. Uniquely among PHNs, we also serve as the Northern Territory’s Rural Workforce Agency, supporting the recruitment, development and retention of primary healthcare professionals across the Territory.

Here at Star College Australia, we believe that partnership is the key to progress. We believe the best way to forge the world we envision is to carve pathways together to be inspired, prepared and qualified through education and training, so that EVERYONE can live their best life.
 
We have qualified trainers and assessors, who combined have centuries of industry insight and the passion and skills to transfer knowledge through the exchange of training. With teams that come from various backgrounds, we all know how hard it is to expand our capacities and take on something else. Today our lives are often already full, but an expert training company lightens the load by helping facilitate your learning journey. 

As progress in technology, trade, and diversity make the world a smaller place, we see an exciting opportunity to connect people and forge new partnerships. And it’s through these partnerships that we believe people will be unburdened to make meaningful change and expand their horizons, while leading more fulfilling and happier lives. We are committed to making that happen through the vehicle of education and training here at Star College Australia.

Mission Australia has over 165 years of experience supporting Australia’s most vulnerable people. For the past twenty-four years, Mission Australia has worked with the Northern Territory community, where we currently deliver 32 services and employ over 125 Territorians across nine locations in Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine, and Alice Springs.  In 2001, Mission Australia opened the Darwin Sobering Up Shelter at Caryota Place in Coconut Grove, which was (and still is) affectionately known as Spin Dry. While the service has now relocated to Berrimah, we continue to provide people with a safe and supported place to sleep when highly impacted by alcohol and other drugs.
