E ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRYThe National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation would like to acknowledge this land that we gather on today as the traditional homes for the Wurundjeri tribe. I pay my respects to the Elders past, present and future and to the Wurundjeri people, custodians of this land and thank them for allowing us to conduct our business on this land.

WelcomeA warm welcome to the 2016 NACCHO Annual Members’ Conference. It is a pleasure to welcome all delegates to the 2016 National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) Annual Members’ Conference.

About NACCHOThe National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) is a living embodiment of the aspirations of Aboriginal communities and their struggle for self-determination.

NACCHO is the national peak body representing over 140 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) across the country on Aboriginal health and wellbeing issues. It has a history stretching back to a meeting in Albury in 1974.

With over 45 years of cultural experience, knowledge and capability in the delivery of comprehensive primary health care. These crucial services are delivered through 302 fixed, outreach and mobile clinics in urban, rural and remote settings across Australia. Proudly our Members continue to demonstrate that they are the leading provider of health care to the largest proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, exceeding Government or private providers across the Nation.

In 1997, the Federal Government funded NACCHO to establish a Secretariat in Canberra which greatly increased the capacity of Aboriginal Peoples involved in ACCHSs to participate in national health policy development.

An Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service is a primary health care service initiated and operated by the local Aboriginal community to deliver holistic, comprehensive, and culturally appropriate health care to the community which controls it, through a locally elected Board of Management.

Aboriginal communities operate over 140 ACCHSs in urban, regional and remote Australia. They range from large multi-functional services employing several medical practitioners and providing a wide range of services, to small services which rely on Aboriginal Health Workers and/or nurses to provide the bulk of primary care services, often with a preventive,

health education focus. The services form a network, but each is autonomous and independent both of one another and of government.

The integrated primary health care model adopted by ACCHSs is in keeping with the philosophy of Aboriginal community control and the holistic view of health. Addressing the ill health of Aboriginal people can only be achieved by local Aboriginal people controlling health care delivery.

Local Aboriginal community control in health is essential to the definition of Aboriginal holistic health and allows Aboriginal communities to determine their own affairs, protocols and procedures. NACCHO represents local Aboriginal community control at a national level to ensure that Aboriginal people have greater access to effective health care across Australia. NACCHO provides a coordinated holistic response from the community sector, advocating for culturally respectful and needs based approaches to improving health and wellbeing outcomes through ACCHSs.

NACCHO’s work is focused on:

● Promoting, developing and expanding the provision of health and wellbeing services through local ACCHSs.

● Liaison with organisations and governments within both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community on health and wellbeing policy and planning issues.

● Representation and advocacy relating to health service delivery, health information, research, public health, health financing and health programs.

● Fostering cooperative partnerships and working relationships with agencies that respect Aboriginal community control and holistic concepts of health and wellbeing. The National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) is a living embodiment of the aspirations of Aboriginal communities and their struggle for self-determination. NACCHO is the national peak body representing over 140 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) across the country on Aboriginal health and wellbeing issues.

The Honourable Ken Wyatt VM, MP Minister for Health and Aged Care

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:

Ken Wyatt was elected in 2010 as the Federal Member for Hasluck, an electorate South East of Perth, making history as the first Indigenous Member of the House of Representatives. Since his election to Parliament, Ken has worked tirelessly to be a strong advocate for his electorate and to help build a stronger local community.

Before entering politics Ken worked in community roles in the fields of Health and Education including the District Director for the Swan Education District, Director of Aboriginal Health in Western Australia.

Not only has Ken had an extensive career in health and education, he has also made an enormous contribution to the wider community in training and mentoring young people. This was recognised in 1996 when Ken was awarded the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. Later, in 2000, Ken was awarded a Centenary of Federation Medal for ‘his efforts and contribution to improving the quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and mainstream Australian society in education and health.’

Ken brings his knowledge in the areas of Health and Education to his role as the Federal Member for Hasluck, as well as a lifetime of experiences in raising a family and being part of the local Perth community. As the Federal Member for Hasluck, Ken is committed to building a safer, stronger and greener local community for everyone to enjoy.

As such she held responsibility in the Health portfolio for nine health regulatory agencies including: the Therapeutic Goods Administration, Food Standards Australia New Zealand and the Organ and Tissue Authority and in the Transport portfolio for national road safety policy and regional aviation.

On 25 March 2013, Ms King was elevated to the roles of Minister for Regional Services, Local Communities and Territories and Minister for Road Safety in the Gillard Government. Ms King was subsequently promoted to Cabinet on 1 July 2013, as Minister for Regional Australia, Local Government and Territories in the Rudd Government.

KAMS (Kimberley Aboriginal

Medical Services)

Kimberley Renal Service (KRS)KRS is a wholly owned subsidiary of KAMS

In October 2002 the Kimberley Satellite dialysis Centre in Broome was opened to accommodate 40 residents of the Kimberley requiring haemodialysis. By April 2004 the unit reached capacity and once again Kimberley residents needing haemodialysis began mounting up in Perth.

As a result of this, a review of kidney disease in the Kimberley was performed jointly by WACHS and KAMSC. Figures in 2004 showed that the incidence of end stage kidney disease within the Aboriginal population greatly exceeded the national burden of disease. That dialysis prevalence for the region had more than tripled in the last decade and was increasing at a much faster rate than in the rest of Western Australia (WA).

Name: Julia McIntyrePosition: Executive Manager Workforce Address: 12 Napier Terrace Broome Telephone: 08 9194 3250 Email: [email protected] Website: www.kamsc.org.au

Westpac has made solid progress during 2016 towards the commitments of its 2015–2017 Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

As part of Westpac’s broader annual reporting suite, the RAP update demonstrated some 2017 targets had been met ahead of schedule, such as the number of Indigenous Australian businesses included in Westpac’s supply chain, while others were proving challenging.

Today we have more than 820,000 members and $36 billion in assets. Those who work in the health and community services industry support Australians when they need it most. We’re proud to play a key role in helping you create the future you want. HESTA’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) — endorsed by Reconciliation Australia — sets out the steps we will take to demonstrate our strong commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations.

All of our services have a strong cultural component and we strive to provide a supportive, open and culturally safe environment for Aboriginal people.

NACCHO

NACCHO’s vision is:

Aboriginal people enjoy quality of life through whole-of-community self-determination and individual spiritual, cultural, physical, social and emotional wellbeing. Aboriginal health in Aboriginal hands.

Our members continue to demonstrate that they are the leading provider of culturally appropriate, comprehensive, primary health care to Aboriginal people across the nation, exceeding Government or private providers. The definition of “health” adopted by NACCHO and members is in accordance with that described in the 1989 National Aboriginal Health Strategy.

Aboriginal Health means not just the physical wellbeing of an individual, but refers to the social, emotional and cultural wellbeing of the whole community in which each individual is able to achieve their full potential as a human being, thereby bringing about the total wellbeing of their community. It is a whole of life view and includes the cyclical concept of life-death-life.

Approximately one third of the population of the NT are Aboriginal, mostly living in very remote areas. AMSANT and the ACCHSs sector have an impressive record in delivering health outcomes for our communities:

● The first ACCHSs was established over 40 years ago and the sector has grown to be the largest provider of primary health care services to Aboriginal people in the NT, delivering over half of all episodes of care.

● Our sector has led the development of the model of Aboriginal comprehensive PHC, and provides effective health advocacy as well as leadership in areas such as clinical governance and the use of eHealth technologies.

● AMSANT works in formal partnership with the NT and Australian governments through the NT Aboriginal Health Forum on system-wide health planning. ACCHS are recognised as the preferred model for delivering Aboriginal and regional PHC, and there is an active process of transitioning government services to Aboriginal community control.
