Scenario #1: Remote community
This remote Indigenous community, population less than 400, is over 5 hours drive from the nearest large town. The latter has a hospital, Aboriginal Medical Service, one private law firm and four non-profit legal services (Legal Aid, Family Violence Prevention Legal Service, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Service and a Community Legal Centre). The remote Indigenous community has a health clinic, a community store, primary school, police, Department of Child Protection Worker, Centrelink agent and an Art Centre. The Community Development Program (remote work for the dole) operates in the community. The Magistrates Court sits in the community on circuit about once a month and lawyers visit then, some visit also at different times.
10
Scenario #2: Regional centre in remote area
This regional centre, with a population of about 25,000 is over 10 hours drive from the capital city and more than 5 hours away from other large regional centres. There are over 20 remote communities, directly serviced from the regional centre in the sense that many services do regular trips to the remote communities. This includes medical, government agencies, and community services. Some of the remote communities have a health clinic, a multi-purpose centre, police presence, school etc. People from these remote communities sometimes come into the regional centre. There is a Frail Aged facility in the regional centre, and as there are no formal residential aged care facilities in the remote communities, some of the older people from the remote communities are permanently living at the Frail Aged.
11
Scenario # 3: Remote area regional health networks
This regional health network relates to an area larger than Victoria. It is a network for remote area health provision across the region. The region has two or more larger regional centres, some smaller ones and over 40 small communities many of which are very remote. The whole region is classified as remote or very remote on official definitions. The network encourages collaboration, coordination, regional needs analysis, health education, and research. There is a particular focus on social determinants of health.
