Empowering Northern Territory Healthcare
Welcome to Remote Territory Healthcare (RTHC), the first private Nurse Practitioner-led healthcare facility in the Northern Territory (NT), dedicated to providing innovative and culturally safe healthcare solutions. Our healthcare philosophy revolves around the Nurse Practitioner model of care, designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients, their families, and the broader community.
With over 50 years of combined experience, our dedicated RTHC team brings unparalleled expertise in the healthcare and business sectors, spanning government, non-government, military, and humanitarian work. Having lived and worked in the Northern Territory for over a decade, we have cultivated strong relationships with primary healthcare clinics and rural and remote communities. These deep-rooted connections empower us to provide evidence-based health insights and specialized expertise that significantly benefit the community.
Leading our team is Nurse Practitioner Kylie Straube, a published author of numerous research articles focusing on the social determinants of health. Her extensive research and practical experience underscore our commitment to understanding and addressing the factors that influence well-being in our communities.
We are proud to align ourselves with the Menzies School of Indigenous Health Research, collaborating on pioneering studies aimed at improving health outcomes for regional and remote Territorians. Together, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
Furthermore, we actively pursue affiliations with leading educational institutions such as Charles Darwin University, Central Queensland University, and James Cook University. These collaborations are designed to support and enrich the educational journey of Registered Nursing students, providing them with invaluable real-world experience and mentorship.
Our Nurse Practitioners bring an exceptional wealth of expertise in Mental Health, Primary Health, Gerontology, and Rural and Remote Health. Backed by multiple Master’s degrees and a robust history of peer-reviewed research publications, they are dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their well-being. Their diverse specializations and commitment to evidence-based practice ensure that our clients receive the highest quality of care.

We prioritize patient privacy and data security, with all client management systems being Government approved and endorsed to guarantee the highest standards of patient confidentiality.
