AHCWA is the peak body for the 21 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) in Western Australia. We are an evolving organisation that acts as a forum to lead the development of Aboriginal Health policy, to influence and monitor performance across the health sector, to advocate for and support community development and capacity building in Aboriginal Communities. We advocate for the rights and entitlements of all Aboriginal people throughout Western Australia, at a local, regional, State and National level.
The ACCHSs are individual Aboriginal Health Services that are run by local Aboriginal people and their communities to manage their own health and well-being in accordance with protocols and procedures determined by their community members.
