July 2016
CEO Message
In recent weeks in the lead up to the Federal election, there was much reporting of changes to headspace
and concerns were raised that headspace sites would be closing.
Clearly in the context of an election, messages can become confused and did not reflect simple realities.
Kim Hosking
headspace is not going away.
Our reality, is that headspace in our region and indeed nationally, is headed into some new and potentially exciting places.
Prior to the announcement of the election the Commonwealth determined that headspace sites would be funded through the
PHN’s, rather than the previous funding through headspace national, based out of Melbourne.
Also within this new direction was provided the opportunity to move from what was described as a common national model,
to one that is potentially better connected locally.
In our region there are currently four headspace sites, one each in Berri, Murray Bridge, Port Augusta and Mount Gambier.
The CSAPHN is taking the opportunity with the new flexibility to channel some funds to these sites to expand their hours a
little into the later afternoon, early evening and we are considering other opportunities to expand services, through the
development of satellite or outreach activities in other communities.
headspace is a fantastic model for youth mental health service and support, well established and well utilised in the four
current communities. Working with the headspace sites we would be seeking to expand the reach of headspace, both in local
hours of access and regionally, to enhance current services and meet regional needs.
CSAPHN welcomes Jane Williams to the Practice Support Team
Country SA PHN are pleased to welcome Jane Williams, Practice Support Officer to the team. Jane broadens the skills set of

Accreditation Tips
Avoid some of the pitfalls which often
occur on the day of your Accreditation.
Elder Abuse can be stopped, recognise the
signs
General Practitioners:

GPs will need to
produce all current GP
registrations, copies of
Indemnity Insurance
and CPD points for
each GP. This is an area
where you may have to
ask more than once to
receive the required
paperwork.

GPs must also have completed CPR in the previous 3
years. Often this is overlooked when the
Accreditation date is in the middle of the RACGP
triennium.

The immunisation status of GPs are also required as is
a position description.

The position description is very important,
particularly when a GP plays a specific role in the
practice i.e. the management of vaccines and cold
chain.
As a health professional, you play an important role in
recognising and responding to Elder Abuse.
Elder Abuse is very complex and often involves the people,
relatives or friends, known and trusted by the older person.
Workers in the health sector are often the first to witness
Elder Abuse and may be in a position to help. So it’s
important to be aware of the signs of Elder Abuse and know
what you can do and where you can go for more information
and support.
It is important that you, as a professional in the health
sector, have a clear understanding of the rights of older
people and how these rights can be protected. This includes
being aware of the signs of elder abuse and knowing where
to go for help and advice.
A new elder abuse wallet card is available to help raise
awareness about elder abuse. If you would like free copies
of the new wallet card resource to provide to your clients/
patients you can download from the website or email Office
for the Ageing to place your order. Please note the wallet
card comes in bundles of 50.
Call the SA Elder Abuse Prevention Phone Line on 1800 372
310 or visit www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/stopelderabuse for
more information.
Practice Nurses:

RNs and ENs again, current registration is required.


Position descriptions are necessary and where the
nursing staff are involved in vaccines, cold chain
management, infection control processes and
sterilization, these details must be contained in the
position description.
ACRRM SA and NT Council member

(ACRRM) is pleased to invite nominations for election for the
College Council representatives for the South Australia and

Primary Healthcare Nurse and Practice
Manager Needs in Country SA
At the end of 2015 and into early 2016, Country SA PHN
undertook needs surveys with both Primary Healthcare
(PHC) Nurses and Practice Managers throughout country
South Australia. The results of the surveys have been
collated and the information obtained will be utilised to
inform Country SA PHN at both a local and State level in the
support of education and networking opportunities for PHC
Nurses and Practice Managers into the near future.
PHC Nurse and Practice Manager Networks are in various
stages of development across SA. In the North West region
of SA, we currently have two Practice Managers Networks,
one in Port Augusta which includes Port Pirie and surrounds,
and one in Whyalla. Both networks are newly formed and
still finding their grounding.
In the Eyre Peninsula a combined approach of both PHC
Nurses and Practice Managers meeting together has been
taken. The Eyre Peninsula Practice Network was established
in August 2015 with Port Lincoln indicated as the preferred
venue for the meetings. Four meetings have been held and
well attended by practice staff throughout Eyre Peninsula.
In the Central region of SA, PHC Nurse Network meetings
have been held thus far in the Barossa and Adelaide Hills
regions. The Barossa network attracted nurses from a variety
of settings including general practice, community nursing
and aged care and also a wide geographical reach including
Clare and the Yorke Peninsula. Practice Manager meetings
have been held in the Central region areas of the Fleurieu,
Adelaide Hills and Barossa.
Both the PHC Nurse and Practice Manager network meetings
provide the opportunity for practice staff to share ideas and
network which is particularly beneficial for staff from the
remote practices and there is often a guest speaker from a
relevant local service or from within the PHN.
The educational topics and updates provided at the
meetings have included:
 APNA – Support for PHC Nurses
 Immunisation
System changes – challenging to providers and patients
 Quality Improvement
 MBS Item numbers
 Care plans
 PenCS update
 My Health Record
 Aged Care and mental health updates
As establishment and ongoing support of PHC Nurse and
Practice Manager Networks continues, Country SA PHN,
through the Regional Strategies team, is keen to work closely
with both PHC Nurses and Practice Managers to ensure that
the networks are locally relevant. With recent recruitment
now complete, Regional Strategies has a full contingent of
team members across Country SA.

BreastScreen SA be part of our circle of
friends
BreastScreen SA (BSSA) are on a mission to strengthen our
circle of friends and screen more women than ever before in
the hope of finding more early stage breast cancers. This
gives our friends (the women of South Australia) a greater
chance for simpler breast cancer treatments and more
successful outcomes.
With only 1 in 2 South Australian women aged over 50
having a regular breast screen, that’s almost certainly
someone you know and care about who isn’t taking part.
We’ve set ourselves a target to screen an additional 5000
women by 30 June 2016, with the hope of finding another 30
-40 breast cancers.
So far we’ve screened an additional 4,264 women. But we
need your help to spread the word and share the love!
For engagement at a State level please contact:
 Suzanne Mann, Senior Manager Regional Strategies
& Service Design [email protected] or
 Jenny Philip-Harbutt, Manager State Partnerships
[email protected].
Can you help us? If you know a woman aged over 40 who
isn’t screening every two years with BSSA, encourage her to
become a friend of BSSA by calling 13 20 50 to make an
appointment. Or if you’re a woman aged over 40 and
thinking about joining our circle of friends by having a
screening mammogram, you can read more about what is
involved and call 13 20 50 to make an appointment.
National Diabetes Services Scheme
As of 1 July 2016, changes to the NDSS identified include:
 People with type 1 diabetes will still have unrestricted
access to diabetes supplies, however, these items will no
longer be available through Diabetes Australia, so those
who usually order bulk supplies from Diabetes Australia,
will have to get their supplies through their local
pharmacy after this date.
 Insulin pump users will no longer be able to obtain pump
consumables through Diabetes Australia. As for test
strips and needles, these will now only be available
through their local community pharmacy.
 People with type 2 diabetes not requiring insulin will be
limited to an initial 6 month supply, unless their medical
practitioner or other authorised health professional feels
there is a clinical need to continue monitoring and
authorises additional supplies.
 Individuals with diabetes who don’t currently purchase
NDSS products through a pharmacy are encouraged to
find a local community pharmacy to be their regular
access point .
 People with type 2 diabetes requiring insulin will still
have unrestricted access to blood test strips, available
for purchase through their local pharmacy.
 Women with gestational diabetes will continue to have
unrestricted access to blood test strips for the duration
of their pregnancy.
Cancer Project for ATSI Women
Identifying critical success factors for mammographic
screening participation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander women.
Cancer Australia is embarking on a new project which
focuses on one of the identified priorities in our National
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cancer Framework
2015. The Cancer Framework identifies a priority area of
action is to “increase access and participation in cancer
screening and immunisation for the prevention and early
detection of cancers”.
The aim of this new project is to identify critical success
factors and effective approaches to increasing
mammographic screening participation for Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander women across Australia.
The objectives of this project are to identify:
 key factors contributing to successful participation of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in
mammographic screening to inform best practice care.
 culturally appropriate service delivery options,
resources and campaigns considered to be effective in
promoting participation in mammographic screening for
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.
