Patient Assisted Travel Scheme
AHL residents who have travelled long distances to attend
specialised health appointments (dialysis, oncology treatment,
antenatal care etc.) know it can be very costly, particularly for
those on fixed incomes.
In addition, trying to find a place to stay that is close to where

appointments are, can be almost impossible and expensive too.
This is where the Patient Assisted Travel Scheme (PATS) can
provide much needed support to cover petrol, accommodation,
other travel and where approved, a carer to accompany patients.
The PATS initiative provides anyone from rural and remote areas
access to support if they are required to travel within a specified
AHL hopes to be able to establish similar arrangements in other
locations in the future.

distance from their place of residence.
Each State and Territory has different eligibility requirements that
include a combination of the following:
• Completed PATS forms lodged with appropriate services within
their area
• Referral from treating medical practitioner, specialist, dentist etc.
• Permanent residence of that State or Territory
• Requirement to travel more than a specified distance from their
place of residence to access specialist treatment
• Registered with Medicare
AHL residents in Derby (Kabayji Booroo Hostel), Perth (Allawah
Grove and Derbal Bidjarn Hostels) and Alice Springs (Sid Ross
Hostel) have received support through PATS pre-paid bed
arrangements with the WA Country Health Services and the
Alice Springs Hospital.
For added convenience, the Sid Ross Hostel is across the road
from the Alice Springs Hospital, making the journey from
accommodation to appointments very easy.

the strength of our residents, who have to leave their home and
families and relocate to Alice Springs so that they can get the
medical treatment they need on a daily basis. I see the struggle
they go through each day, their commitment to their health
and wanting to return to their community. I also see how we,
Aboriginal Hostels Limited, are able to provide a welcoming,
safe and enjoyable environment which residents feel is like their
second home.
At Topsy Smith Hostel we strive to provide
an environment where our residents
are comfortable, treated with respect and dignity
and are made to feel a part of our big family.
We know we are achieving this goal when we get residents
wanting to return to our hostel and telling us how much they
wished they came earlier. This, I find, is the most rewarding
acknowledgement we receive.
On 26 March this year I was very honoured to be invited down to
Canberra to celebrate World Kidney Day. The highlight of this trip
was observing, with Katrina Fanning, a Roundtable on Indigenous
kidney health at Parliament House, as well as attending a
Parliamentary Breakfast earlier that morning. I was in absolute awe
of my surroundings as well as acknowledging that I was in the
company of an extremely important group of people who have
the ability to make serious changes in how chronic kidney disease
is addressed in our Indigenous communities.

CEO Sleep Out
This year General Manager Strategy, Innovation and People in AHL,
Ms Katrina Fanning, joined more than 1,200 CEOs, politicians
and community leaders nation-wide to rough it in Canberra’s
sub-zero temperatures. This event, organised by St Vincent
De Paul aims to raise money and awareness of homelessness
across Australia.
This year, the CEO Sleep Out celebrated its 10 year anniversary.
Although this is a huge milestone and a great effort for
those who have participated and organised this event over
the years, we need to remember there is still a lot more to do
to reduce homelessness. Across Australia, there are more than
100,000 people doing it tough on any given night and of that
number, 25% are Indigenous Australians.
Indigenous Australians can become homeless for many reasons,
living away from their community when seeking out
support services, employment, and other opportunities.
Since 1973, AHL has been at the forefront of providing
Indigenous Australians with short-term, safe, comfortable and
culturally appropriate accommodation. We now have over
47 accommodation facilities nationally.

Kirinari Hostel has a particularly strong student
development program, which Brad puts a lot of work
into maintaining, including active links with Clontarff’s
Talented Sports Program and the local Police Citizen’s Youth Club.
These links provide two-way support, so that AHL’s students gain
access to sporting opportunities, excursions, social engagement
and career pathways, while Clontarff can be assured of
accommodation places for talented students identified through
its programs.
It is a family approach which is bearing fruit in terms of student
engagement and education outcomes, and Brad makes a
particular effort to maintain good communication with parents in
his students’ home communities.
