Historical and Current Perspectives on Aboriginal Health

The trajectory of Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) from the days of self-determination to the current post-referendum era highlights their essential role in mitigating health inequities. By prioritising the social determinants of health and amplifying Aboriginal voices, these services have markedly enhanced healthcare outcomes. Organisations like the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress stand as testaments to significant progress in primary healthcare, hospital systems, and initiatives aimed at supply reduction. Despite setbacks in national advocacy efforts, the indispensable need for strong community-led health services persists.
