Communities we serve
NACCHO oversees a network of 146 members, each running Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) across urban, regional, and remote Australia. These ACCHOs range from large facilities with multiple healthcare professionals providing comprehensive services to smaller centers focused on preventive care and health education, primarily delivered by Aboriginal Health Workers and nurses.
Our programs
NACCHO plays a vital role in administering programs and projects dedicated to the improvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. With funding from diverse sources, we collaborate closely with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) and use the most current data to identify and address the most pressing key areas of health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Through strategic partnerships and coordinated efforts, we aim to enhance the health and well-being of our mob, across the country.
