The role of VACCHO is to build the capacity of our Membership and to advocate for issues on their behalf.

We do this by strengthening our support networks, increasing workforce development opportunities for our Members and through leadership on key health areas. Advocacy is carried out with a range of private, Community and government agencies, at state and national levels, on all issues related to Aboriginal health.

Learn more about VACCHO and how we support VACCHO’s 33 Member organisations located throughout Victoria or download the VACCHO Model.
