This resource provides information about antibiotic shortages for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consumers.

Each year in Australia, hundreds of people die because they cannot be treated successfully for antimicrobial-resistant infections, and the situation is worsening globally with the increasing rates of resistance to many antibiotics.

A model of care outlines the way a digital mental health service is to be delivered. As well as providing a structured guide to service delivery, and supporting best practice, the model of care can be made available to service users, helping them to make an informed choice about whether the service is right for them. This checklist will help you develop a model of care, or review your existing model, to ensure it is comprehensive and robust.
