Templates for health checks
Templates for child and adult health checks have been developed by the Healthy for Life team with the Southern General Practice Network.
Please note these templates have been developed for use in the south east of NSW. Users in other locations are advised to check against local preventive health guidelines for additional preventive health activities that may be relevant in their locations.
Please send Jodie Griffin (JGriffin@sgpn.com.au) any feedback on the templates as they will be reviewed annually. There are also templates available for use with Medical Director.

National best practice guidelines for collection Indigenous
status in health data sets
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people are under-identified in many health-related data collections.
Developed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the Best
Practice Guidelines documents the recommended national approach to
ensure the standard Indigenous status question is asked correctly and
consistently of all clients of health services, and that this
information is recorded properly.
The Best Practice Guidelines can
be found at www.aihw.gov.au/publications/index.cfm/title/11052
