See moreIn May 2024, the Cape and Torres Health Commissioning (CaTHC) Ltd was established as a regional community-controlled commissioning entity. CaTHC is governed by a Board of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Directors and is independent from government. It is planned that over a 10-year period CaTHC will develop the capabilities to receive public funding and commission health services that respond to community need. The aim is to shift the way care is planned, purchased, and delivered, to drive improved health system effectiveness, equity and whole of population health and wellbeing outcomes. This report provides a detailed evaluation of the CaTHC project covering the period of entity establishment between August 2022 and December 2024. It focusses on project deliverables and resourcing; collaboration and governance; model design and implementation; and community and engagement. The project was formerly called the Torres and Cape Health Care Commissioning Fund (TORCH), with a name change to the CaTHC project in 2024.
