Aboriginal Health Council Of Western Australia
About
The Aboriginal Health Council Of Western Australia (AHCWA) is the peak body for Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) in Western Australia. It advocates for the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people, provides policy and program development, and distributes funding to its member ACCHOs for the delivery of culturally secure health services.
Tips for Applicants
As a peak body primarily distributing program funding to its member Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), potential applicants should ensure they are an accredited ACCHO in Western Australia. Engagement with AHCWA's specific programs and initiatives is key, rather than applying for open-call grants in the traditional philanthropic sense.
Giving Philosophy
AHCWA's giving philosophy is deeply rooted in Aboriginal self-determination and community control, aiming to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities for Aboriginal people in WA. They support culturally appropriate, comprehensive primary health care delivered by and for Aboriginal communities, believing in empowering local ACCHOs to lead and implement health solutions.
