Our aim

By building and working with our partners in Aboriginal health, we aim to:

• address the gap in health inequity for all local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• provide better access to primary care for all Aboriginal people through:
  • culturally appropriate primary care provided by Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs)
  • culturally sensitive and respectful primary care provided by general practice and other mainstream primary care providers
• enhanced service capacity and evaluation capability within local ACCHOs
• involve local communities in shaping service delivery.
