Attached is documentation regarding the current structure of the above programs together with information on the proposed new structure and its possible impacts. Please advise your organiser Zelda Giblett of any concerns you may have in regard to the proposed changes by close of business Friday 26 July 2013 to [email protected]. Should concerns be raised then a union specific consultative committee meeting will need to be held. At present three members have indicated they would be happy to participate should a USCC be required.

25 February 2013


Proposed realignment of StEPS, SWiS-H and AOM/Ear Health Programs

The key drivers for change for the Aboriginal Ear Health services, Newborn Hearing services and Vision screening services for children include:

The need to respond to the Ministry of Health StEPS Policy PD2012_001 requirements for the collection and reporting of qualitative data on the delivery of StEPS program.

The need to strengthen management of and support for the change in strategy and effective delivery of Ministry of Health GL2011_013 NSW ABORIGINAL EAR HEALTH PROGRAM GUIDELINES

The need to resolve conflicting responsibilities and where indicated, respond to the preferred staff option to focus on one program, not many (e.g. StEPS or Aboriginal Ear Health, not both).

The need to ensure that StEPS Vision Screeners and Aboriginal Ear Health Program Project Officers with geographical responsibilities have direct access to appropriate Primary and Community Health strategic and operational management and support.
