ACCHOs provide culturally safe environments where cultural identities are respected. This reduces experiences of discrimination and allows patients to express their cultural needs without fear of judgment.
These organisations offer healthcare models designed by and for ATSI Peoples, ensuring treatments and approaches align with cultural practices and community-specific understanding of health and wellbeing for both the young and old.
Evidence shows ACCHOs achieve 5% greater lifetime impact than mainstream services. This demonstrates their effectiveness in addressing health inequities through culturally responsive approaches with Indigenous youth further benefiting from early intervention.
