Description
SCHP’s 12 month online education program focuses
on >100 webcasts from Australian paediatric experts,
live webinars (enabling interaction) and networking
between Indonesian and Australian medical
practitioners. The program facilitates healthcare
professionals with skills needed to improve health
outcomes for children.
COVID-19 brings significant challenges for fostering
people-to-people connections between Indonesians
and Australians, especially young people. With
mobility between our countries limited, this project
facilitates vital cultural connections and provides a
contemporary and dynamic online resource for
teachers of Indonesian language.
The pandemic has exposed serious health inequity,
disproportionately affecting people with disabilities.
This project will inform students of nursing and
midwifery and educators about the rights of people
with disabilities to health services, and principles of
inclusive health practices.
Health service organisational and staff factors are
reasons for poor quality care, poor pregnancy
outcomes and maternal deaths. This project will
improve the capacity of six hospitals and departments
of health to implement locally relevant changes and
improve quality of care.
Novel vivax malaria treatment regimens are effective
but can cause severe side-effects. In this Australian-
Indonesian collaborative project, we will evaluate a
novel diagnostic tool to identify patients at risk of side
effects, enrolled in a clinic in Indonesia in 2022.
We aim to develop a business resilience hub to
engage Indonesian small-and-medium tourism
enterprises to build resilience. Customised training,
workshops, awards and mentorship programs will be
organised to empower organisations to recover and
adapt when facing an increased number of disasters.
This project develops and runs two 10-day intensive
upskill and reskill training programs to build the
innovative capability and economic resilience of
people in Bali to remain in tourism and hospitality

Project Description

The Australia-Indonesia bilateral relationship is arguably the closest it has been in decades, but there is still more to
be done to increase awareness of each other’s cultures and languages and the ongoing difficulties associated with
the pandemic threatens to curtail our strong people-to-people connections. On his visit to Australia in February 2020,
President Widodo pointed to young people as key to the future of the relationship and to connections through
technology and the creative arts as crucial for its development. Since 2016, ReelOzInd! has been committed to
building understanding through cultural exchange and storytelling, and has provided a platform for young and
emerging Australian and Indonesian filmmakers to share their stories. This project accelerates this collaboration in
support of Indonesian studies and language learning, drawing on ReelOzInd!'s rich archive of short films, to create
resources and teaching content for use at both primary and secondary levels in Australian schools. If the bilateral
relationship is to continue to thrive, language learning is critical. It is vital that learning Indonesian is presented in an
exciting, contemporary and culturally-engaged way. The Teaching Resource Pack (TRP) will offer Indonesian
language teachers a vital new, dynamic, and accessible resource for their teaching.

Project Description

The pandemic has exposed serious health inequity in Indonesia. It disproportionately affects women and people with
disabilities. This provides a motive and opportunity for La Trobe University and Universitas Aisyiyah to address a
systemic weakness in accessible health services. This project offers opportunities for Australian and Indonesian
health practitioners, researchers, and disability advocates to share knowledge and experience in fostering health
equity. It has been understood for some time that structural inequality reduces the quality of health outcomes for
people with a disability. Specifically, the project will inform students of nursing and midwifery and educators about the
rights of people with disabilities to health services, and principles of inclusive health practices. This program will
deliver intensive professional development to the target group to enhance their understanding of the rights of people
with a disability. The emphasis will be on principles of equity and accessibility, and strategies and techniques that can
bridge the gap between health policy and its implementation in practice in the delivery of health services. By
exploring practical scenarios addressing various disability types, participants will be better able to adopt material and
delivery methods using available electronic tools.

Project Description

Good health of mothers and babies is central to the health of societies. Access to effective and appropriate care
during pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal periods is essential for good health of mothers and babies. In Indonesia,
many pregnant women still experience poor outcomes, long term complications or death. Less than optimal quality
maternal health care is amongst the most important reasons for these poor outcomes. This project aims to improve
the capacity of six hospitals and Departments of Health across 3 districts of East Kalimantan and 3 districts of East
Java. This will be achieved by training staff and by supporting the staff to introduce supervised changes to their
hospitals and/or Primary Care Services.

Key dates:

 Identify staff to lead quality of care improvement changes. Participating Districts in Kaltim and Jatim, 07

Project Description

This project will foster Australian and Indonesian collaborative research and generate important information of
national and regional interest to public health. Vivax malaria is the dominant species in Asia. Novel, more effective,
treatment regimens are needed but all are contra-indicated in G6PD deficient individuals; broad deployment can only
be facilitated if G6PD deficient individuals can be identified at the point-of-care. This project will evaluate a novel
diagnostic (Humasis G6PD, ROK) to identify G6PD deficient patients. The test has operational characteristics
suitable for deployment in remote settings and is pre-qualified by Indonesian authorities, but its diagnostic accuracy
is unknown. Together with the Eijkman Institute, Indonesia, we will enrol patients attending a remote clinic and will
measure G6PD status by gold standard and novel diagnostic. Results will be compared to determine test accuracy.
The project will provide essential information to Indonesian policy makers when considering novel vivax malaria test
and treatment guidelines.

Project Description

Tourism is an important component of the Indonesian economy and a significant source of foreign exchange revenues.
The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down the Indonesian tourism industry and put 3.4 million jobs at risk, causing a
reduction of 2.6% of nationwide employment. To save the hard-hit tourism industry, the development of greater business
resilience to such disturbances is imperative for the economic recovery of Indonesia. This project aims to support small-
and-medium tourism enterprises (SMEs) in responding to crises by developing an Australia-Indonesia Business
Resilience Hub. In partnership with the UQ Business Sustainability Research Hub, the globally recognised tourism
advisory group EarthCheck, and the Indonesian local institution Tourism Development Centre & Creative Economy -
Universitas Andalas, this hub will organise customised training and workshops, facilitate awards and mentorship
programs, and accelerate knowledge exchange to empower collaboration and innovation. It will help build the
adaptability, agility and resilience of the Indonesian tourism industry.

Project Description

Indonesia has one of the highest tobacco use rates globally with estimates indicating that 60% of males smoke.
Smokers are mostly men, yet 7.5% of all deaths in women are attributable to tobacco, predominantly from second-
hand smoke. Smoke-free environments reduce harm from second-hand smoke, although places such as offices,
businesses, and playgrounds in Indonesia are not smoke-free. Creating smoke-free environments is more important
than ever now with many families staying at home due to COVID-19. Indonesia’s resources on creating smoke-free
environments are currently lacking. Our mission is to build on an already established Indonesian-Australian
collaboration to propagate Australia’s smoke-free resources to Indonesia. We will translate and deploy smoke-free
resources using infographics and short clips in interactive formats online and using social media. This will help inform
tobacco education, capacity building, policy responses and strengthen institutional ties between Indonesian and
Australian researchers and educators.

Training of oral cancer early screening to West Kalimantan dentists in 2017 (Credit: Dr Elizabeth Sari)

Project Description

Even before the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, oral cancer in Indonesia had always been neglected and considered a low-priority
case. Oral cancer diagnosis delay is commonly associated with lack of awareness among the population and health-care
providers, specifically dentists who work in rural areas as people have a lot of barriers to access health facilities. Therefore,
virtual training and webinars on oral cancer early screening will be given to local dentists especially those who reside in rural
provinces of Indonesia such as Papua, West Papua, Banda Aceh, West Java, and West Kalimantan. The virtual training is
expected to increase the knowledge, confidence, and skills of Indonesian dentists in oral cancer early screening. The first
training session focuses on theory, explaining management of oral cancer, how to do a step-by-step oral cancer early
screening, demonstrating images and videos of oral diseases and risk factors. The second session focuses on practical-based
intervention. The program will include collaboration with some partners such as Indonesian dental associations and several
