NACCHO Australia’s 2024 Members Conference (4-5 December, Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country) was an excellent opportunity to connect with ACCHOs, Affiliates and see some of the inspiring work that is occurring across the country. We saw Australian Institute for Health and Wellbeing statistics that confirm despite significantly less funding than mainstream practices (62% less on average), ACCHOs deliver more episodes of care and are the preferred providers for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people. With 20% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people nationally saying they want to access an ACCHO but are unable given their location, we know there is more to do to strengthen our sector, and to ensure that Governments stay committed to the Closing The Gap Priority Reforms. We celebrated anniversaries for four of AHCSA’s Member Services: Nunkuwarrin Yunti (50 years), Nganampa Health Council Incorporated (40 years), Oak Valley Health Service (40 years) and PORT LINCOLN ABORIGINAL HEALTH SERVICE INC (30 years), and watched the graduation for the first cohort of TAE graduates from Community-Controlled RTOs. Celebrating the strength and longevity of our Member Services alongside the new workforce who will continue to grow the sector was a privilege. 

Today at the NACCHO Australia Conference, our very own Emma Tahuri, Principal Lead of Elder Population Health, discussed the important work that Elder Care Support (ECS) does. To build her presentation, Emma spoke directly to front-line workers of the ECS program to share their experiences, challenges, solutions, and most importantly, the success stories in the community. The ECS staff have clearly been able to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of Elders. One front-line staff member spoke about how, through quarterly SEWB/ECS workshops, Elders have become more actively involved in their community and are attending social activities and workshops. Previously, Elders would have spent time sitting at home, isolated from the community, family, and friends. These activities include walking groups, balance for life, aqua aerobics, yoga, bingo, arts and crafts, and more. We’re so proud of the Elder Care Support program, its staff, and all they have achieved. Thank you, NACCHO, for inviting Emma to speak about the program.
