Abstract
Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) provide culturally safe, holistic primary health care, and are well placed to address barriers experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples when accessing health services.1 These barriers include geographical proximity to services, racism, and transport issues.2 Across Australia, there are over 140 ACCHOs situated near where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples live.3 Driven by community leadership, documented strengths of ACCHOs include the ability to respond to the health and cultural needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.1,2
