The ACCHO Sector Orientation Learning Resource Modules are a resource for physicians, trainees, and health professionals to build a deeper understanding of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled health services sector, and particularly in Queensland.
Developed in partnership between the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and the Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council (QAIHC), this resource offers an introduction to the history, values, and community-led principles that underpin the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled health organisation (ACCHO) sector.
Participants can hear from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health leaders and other experts explaining the history and the services provided by Aboriginal community-controlled health organisations (ACCHOs) using real-world examples.
This resource aims to help participants gain insight into the vital role that ACCHOs play in the Australian health care system, and how they provide culturally safe, community-driven healthcare to improve health outcomes and foster health equity for Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders.
Who is it for? RACP staff, Fellows, trainees, and partners interested in working more effectively with the ACCHO sector.
This resource was developed with the support of the QAIHC ACCHO Sector Orientation Governance Committee and endorsed by the committee in March 2026.
