- NACCHO promotes participation by ensuring ATSI communities have control over their own health services and can make decisions about healthcare delivery that reflect their needs and priorities.
- This is achieved through community members being represented on boards of management and involved in developing culturally appropriate health programs.
- NACCHO also provides opportunities for community members to train and work as health professionals within their own communities.
- Through this approach, ATSI peoples can actively participate in addressing health inequities rather than being passive recipients of mainstream services.
