Progress of the Northern Territory Emergency Response Child Health Check Initiative: update on results from the Child Health Check and follow-up data collections

This is the third and final progress report on the Child Health Check Initiative (CHCI), which provides information on the health conditions identified at the CHC and the extent of follow-up services provided to Indigenous children in prescribed areas. The report shows that a high proportion of children (76%) live in a household with a smoker; 43% have at least one type of oral health condition; 30% have at least one type of skin condition and 30% have ear disease. Follow-up services have been provided to a large number of children and the extent of audiology and dental service delivery has more than doubled since December 2008. There is, however, a continuing need for health services among these children, particularly in the areas of dental, primary health care, audiology and ENT services.
