Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations

Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) are healthcare services operated and managed by Aboriginal communities themselves. They provide culturally appropriate medical care, focusing on the health and well-being of Indigenous people. By being community-led, ACCHOs ensure services respect cultural values and needs, often addressing gaps left by mainstream healthcare. They offer a range of services including general health, chronic disease management, mental health, and prevention programs. The goal is to improve health outcomes, empower communities, and promote holistic well-being rooted in Indigenous cultural practices and knowledge.
