𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐒 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝   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.      #WorldAIDSDay #WorldAIDSDay2025 #NoOneLeftBehind #OurHealthInOurHands #NACCHO #ACCHOs #AboriginalHealth #IndigenousHealth Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Services AH&MRC of NSW Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council (QAIHC) Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia AMSANT Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre

“It was a privilege to meet with Assistant Minister Rebecca White and Departmental representatives to progress conversations that will shape the future for families on Badu Island and across the Torres Strait. Standing alongside the Wakaid Tribal Council, led by our Elders, Uncle Bongo, Uncle Dane, and Uncle Tom, we spoke with one voice for better renal care grounded in connection, culture, and Country. Our voices weren’t just heard, they were listened to. That’s how change begins. This is community control in action. This is how we build a health system that truly includes us.” - Donnella Mills, Board Chair, NACCHO #OurHealthInOurHands

Community-led solutions make the biggest impact. derby aboriginal health service supports a camp that’s working to reduce family and domestic violence by focusing on prevention. This initiative, started by WILINGGIN ABORIGINAL CORPORATION’s Wunggur ranger coordinator Steve Martin, teaches teenage boys about healthy relationships—because prevention begins with understanding. As DAHS Programs Coordinator Mick Leamy shared: "When a program is community-led it is often much more successful because it's coming from a place the community needs."
