Healthcare Australia (HCA) is a major provider of healthcare services across Australia, including allied health, primary care, recruitment, NDIS, care services, and training.

In December 2024, we commenced providing health, mental health and wellbeing services across the onshore Immigration Detention network.  Our team, which includes nurses, general practitioners, and allied health professionals, offer a wide range of healthcare services to detainees, such as triaging, medication, wound management, immunisation, and other clinical procedures.  HCA also introduced a Virtual Care Centre (VCC), a 24/7 service that provides remote healthcare through telehealth and video consultations, helping to enhance onsite care for detainees.

Join us in bringing a new approach to medical and wellbeing care for detainees by:

• Providing individual and group counselling sessions to address a broad spectrum of psychosocial issues.

• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date client records, including assessment results, treatment plans, and progress notes, in compliance with legal and ethical standards.
