Members & Affiliates
Shaping the future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing
NACCHO members
NACCHO comprises 148 members that operate Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) in urban, regional, and remote Australia. They range from large multi-functional services employing several medical practitioners, to small services which rely on Aboriginal Health Workers and/or nurses to provide the bulk of primary care services, often with a preventive, health education focus.
NACCHO affiliates
NACCHO collaborates with eight affiliates that represent each state and territory across Australia. Our affiliates encompass a diverse range of Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), from large facilities staffed by multiple healthcare professionals offering comprehensive services, to smaller centres where dedicated Aboriginal Health Workers and nurses provide primary care. Each centre emphasises preventive care and health education tailored to the community’s needs.
Each affiliate plays a crucial role in supporting ACCHOs within their jurisdiction, offering guidance and practical advice on various aspects, including organisational governance, continuous quality improvement (CQI) accreditation, program implementation, and work health and safety. They facilitate partnerships among ACCHOs to enhance knowledge sharing and strategic planning at the state and territory level, leading the way in the implementation of national policies.
