New data shows a Territory-designed hepatitis B program is tripling liver cancer survival rates for Aboriginal Territorians.

Hep B PAST demonstrates what is possible when Aboriginal-led, community-controlled care is properly resourced, culturally safe, and delivered in partnership with communities. Earlier diagnosis, stronger engagement in care, and better outcomes are saving lives across the NT.

“This is exactly what Closing the Gap looks like in practice.” – Rob McPhee, AMSANT Chair

Our Elder Care Support (ECS) workforce recently came together in Darwin for a training and yarning circle to strengthen how we support older people across NT communities. Despite some cyclone-related cancellations, we had strong in-person participation, and we ran a three-day virtual option for those who were affected.

The group shared important insights about both their triumphs and their challenges.

Representatives from the Department of Health and Aged Care joined us on day one, and participants shared that they gained valuable insights from the session. All ’round, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect, collaborate and strengthen the support we provide to our Elders.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people could become the first Indigenous peoples in the world to virtually eliminate HIV transmission - and it's thanks to the tireless work of our ACCHOs.

The ACCHO sector is vital in maintaining low HIV rates among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and achieving virtual elimination.

Today, we would like to acknowledge the critical and highly skilled ACCHO sexual health and blood borne virus workforce who hold a safe space for community to talk openly, get tested and treated, without shame.

NACCHO continues to advocate for expanded access to culturally safe health promotion, testing and treatment pathways for all blood borne viruses and sexually transmissible infections.
