Subscription to Ambulatory Care Australia (ACA)

Ambulatory Care Australia, formerly known as The Victorian Centre for Ambulatory Care Innovation (VCACI), was established in 1997, through a grant from the Victorian Department of Human Services. In July 2002 the name was changed to Ambulatory Care Australia (ACA). ACA has provided resources to hospital-in-the-home (HITH) care providers and services and ambulatory care programs across Australia at no cost.

Membership benefits include:

• Electronic Newsletters.
• The HITH Review which is an electronic publication that summarises the recent relevant published literature.
• Use of the HITH Electronic Information Exchange (HITH Line).
• The HITH Line assists HITH programs with information exchange. The "HITH Line" posts your questions and answers to participating programs around Australia via a distribution e-mail list, and operates as a chat group. Questions can relate to a drug administration protocol; a HITH procedure or the facility can also be used to disseminate items of interest, news, upcoming conferences and job vacancies relevant to ambulatory care.
• Reduced registration fees for ACA HITH seminars.

If you wish to receive these services the fee is $110 plus GST ($121), and for five people from the same organisation there is a special fee of $500 + $50 GST ($550).
