South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD) (opens in a new window)

SWSLHD has funded DOMTRU as an academic unit for 3 years and provides the administrative support, funding for postgraduate and postdoc opportunities and for initial funding for projects intended to progress to full grant applications or where applicable district wide services

 

South Western Sydney Primary Health Network (SWSPHN) (opens in a new window)

DOMTRU is very much about working with GPs and the primary care team in the community. GPs are involved in most of the above programmes.  SSW GP Link have set up a diabetes committee to collaborate with DOMTRU to improve diabetes services capacity in primary care, support GPs in their management of patients with diabetes and coordinate diabetes related CPD in the primary care sphere. SWSPHN and SSW GP Link have funded access to the Aus-CDEP programme for busy health care professionals and access will be rolled out over the next 12 months.
