Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct as ACCHOs exemplify true partnership by enabling community leadership and culturally appropriate service delivery.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect because this approach lacks genuine partnership and community input, merely applying cultural themes without community leadership.
  • C is incorrect as it fails to recognise the unique health needs of different cultural groups and doesn’t involve partnership with communities.
  • D is incorrect because short-term clinical services without community involvement represent a top-down approach rather than a collaborative partnership.
