Abstract
In this paper, various point-of-care testing (POCT) models for early detection and/or management of chronic diseases in rural Aboriginal communities are used to provide practical examples of how to set up and manage a viable and sustainable point-of-care testing (POCT) service, whether it be in a general medical practice (GP) clinic, Aboriginal health service, or hospital service or clinic.
