澳洲中部原住民會成立於一九七三年,經過三十多年的成長,成為北部區域原住民社區中最大最古老又有控制的健康服務單位。 該會著重於住屋、土地所有權、福利和健康的問題上,並將特殊專才利用在基本衛生保健上。當新的世紀來臨,代表大會持續作為基本衛生保健的領導者是件很重要的事,同時也是社區中原住民健康的代言人。該會亦保證讓參與最多的機構來扮演在政治主張和作為服務供應商之間維持平衡的關鍵角色。
Central Australian Aboriginal Congress was established in 1973 and has grown over 30 years to be one of the largest and oldest Aboriginal community controlled health services in the Northern Territory. Congress took up the issues of housing, land rights, welfare and health, and concentrated their particular expertise on primary health care. As we enter this new century it is important that Congress continues to be a leader in primary health care and a strong voice for the health of Aboriginal people in our community. We can ensure this by maintaining the balance between our key roles as political advocates and as a provider of services, through facilitating maximum community involvement in the organization. |
