National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation
Improving the quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
About NACCHO
Australia is a diverse, multicultural country. It is the original dwelling place of the world’s oldest continuous cultures, the Aboriginal people.
The National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) is the national leadership body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health in Australia. The organisation provides advice and guidance to the Australian Government on policy and budget matters while advocating for community-developed health solutions that contribute to the quality of life and improved health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Over 143 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) operate in over 300 clinics across Australia that deliver holistic, comprehensive and culturally competent primary healthcare services.
What was the challenge?
As NACCHO works closely with over 143 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) across the country on Aboriginal health and wellbeing issues, NACCHO’s primary mandate is to promote, develop and expand the provision of health and wellbeing services. The organisation needs to liaise with organisations and governments within both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community on health and wellbeing policy and planning issues. This requires a efficient, ‘always on’ technology solution that can function under the most challenging environment in local communities. Major challenges include data security, availability of services in remote areas.
Good technology - Great solutions
F1 Solutions moved NACCHO from a traditional IT services, break/fix or on-demand outsourcing model to a strategic IT approach.
With this new approach, F1 Solutions offered a holistic, F1 Advantage Premium solution future-proofed NACCHO while taking responsibility for the management of the organisation’s IT systems, including proactive monitoring of on-premise servers.
The plan provided NACCHO with a simple, all-in-one user license and subscription that included everything NACCHO staff would require to be productive and cyber safe, and to operate efficiently and effectively in a modern IT environment.
F1 Advantage Enterprise Services solution was implemented to proactively monitor essential infrastructure 24/7, detecting and fixing issues before they became significant enough to impact operations.
A modern, Office365 environment
Microsoft Azure AD Conditional Access policies to share documents, resources and applications and for better and more robust protection of corporate data
Industry leading antivirus and antispam protection
Fully managed, state-of-the-art endpoint devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets and mobiles
Unlimited Australian helpdesk support from 7am to 7pm weekdays
Dedicated account management
F1 Advantage Premium Plan along with ‘Security Advantage’ pack, including endpoint detection and response protection with machine learning and neural networks, detecting malicious code and behaviour before it could cause a problem, and additional coverage for devices from loss or theft by enabling full encryption
The benefits for NACCHO
F1 Solutions provided mission-critical, centralised IT systems, managed services solutions, cloud solutions and supporting infrastructure.
As part of its mission to help NACCHO build a more sustainable organisation, F1 SOlutions helped NACCHO to migrate most of its on-prem infrastructure into the cloud with Microsoft Office365. The E5 plan included the latest versions of the modern office productivity suite with advanced security management, threat intelligence, security and compliance centre, unlimited one-drive storage, microsoft teams, workflow automation, Power BI and state-of-the-art enterprise mobility.
This meant that even during an event as disruptive as the COVID-19 crisis, systems were protected and available, and NACCHO was able to continue doing its vital work.
The all-in-one user license model allowed a higher level of visibility across NACCHO's business operations, greater confidence in the data being presented, and a better ability to scale and leverage new technologies.
Not only was the new system more scalable, secure and resilient, it also increased efficiency, boosted performance and created a far-improved user experience for staff and clients.
From user error to cyber attacks, the threats facing NACCHO were no longer a critical danger to the business as systems were secured and actively managed.
This is what the project was ultimately all about, and feedback says it was a success.
F1 Solutions supports NACCHO in its mission to work hard to assist people in need and combat social injustice across the Canberra-Goulburn region. F1 Solutions is committed to partnering with NACCHO to provide managed IT support and services to build a more sustainable organisation.
Hardening NACCHO’s security stance with F1 Advantage Security pack made NACCHO’s life a little easier with industry leading endpoint protection that used AI powered detection secure its end-points, network and cloud environment. Antispam and antivirus protection ensured that email phishing and other malicious email borne bad actors such as including Trojans, worms, botnets, etc. did not get through to NACCHO systems. Microsoft Exchange Online Protection for cloud-based antispam defence and Zero-day protection against new threats, time-of-click protection for unknowing end users etc ensure that NACCHO’s security environment had secure, sovereign systems and that they were able to enjoy smooth operations at the same time.
