A new health brokerage service has been established for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in the inner north of metropolitan Melbourne.

ASK (Access Services for Koories), located in Collingwood, Melbourne, has resulted from an alliance between the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) and the Northern Division of General Practice.

The Brokerage Program is aimed at increasing the access of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to high quality, culturally appropriate primary health care by linking individuals to a network of health providers.

The ASK brokerage project , located at 66 Sackville Street, Collingwood, joins similar services already operating in NSW and Western Australia.
