Commissioning

Working in partnership with ACCHOs and Aboriginal people is a key priority for us to address unacceptable health inequalities and improve health and wellbeing. We commission targeted services to Aboriginal people needing care coordination, mental health and suicide prevention, and alcohol and other drugs support.
