VACCHO
The Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) is the peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing in Victoria.
VACCHO is recognised as the peak representative organisation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health in Victoria; while on a national scale, VACCHO represents the Community-controlled health sector through its affiliation and membership on the Board of the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO).
Our role is to support our Members in the delivery of high-quality, culturally safe health and social services to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community across the state. We do this by:
advocating on issues related to Community health and wellbeing
strengthening support networks
increasing workforce development opportunities
partnering with government and mainstream health organisations to embed self-determination and culturally informed approaches across health services and systems.
