Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (Congress)

Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (Congress) is a large Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) based in Alice Springs. We are one of the most experienced organisations in the country in Aboriginal health, a national leader in primary health care, and a strong advocate for the health of our people. Since the 1970s, we have developed a comprehensive model of primary health care that includes multidisciplinary clinical care; health promotion and disease prevention programs; and action on the social, cultural, economic and political determinants of health and wellbeing. Congress delivers services to more than 14,000 Aboriginal people living in Alice Springs and remote communities across Central Australia including Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa), Ntaria (Hermannsburg), Wallace Rockhole, Utju (Areyonga), Mutitjulu, Amoonguna, Kaltukatjara (Docker River), Yulara and Imanpa.
