The South Australian West Coast ACCHO Network (SAWCAN) is a collaborative network of Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations serving communities across the Eyre and Far West Coast of South Australia. SAWCAN supports members to share knowledge, strengthen collaboration and improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and communities.
The South Australian West Coast ACCHO Network (SAWCAN) was established in 2020 by Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) across the Eyre and Far West Coast of South Australia to strengthen regional collaboration and improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and communities.
SAWCAN provides a forum for ACCHOs to work together, share knowledge and expertise, build capability, coordinate regional initiatives, and advocate on matters of shared importance.
Guided by the priorities identified collectively by its member ACCHOs, SAWCAN supports collaborative initiatives across a region spanning approximately 1,300 kilometres from Whyalla to the Western Australian border.

Tackling Indigenous Smoking
Program of the month
Australia’s Tackling Indigenous Smoking Program is a community-led program that aims to improve the health of our people by inspiring all of us to quit or cut down on smokes and vapes. Smoking is a significant health issue within these communities, contributing to various chronic diseases and a reduced life expectancy.

Today we celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day.
Our children are strong in culture, strong in community and strong in identity. They carry the knowledge, stories and connections that have been shared across generations.
When children grow up healthy, safe and connected to family, culture and Country, our communities grow stronger too.
Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) support children and families through culturally safe healthcare, early support and community-led programs that help children thrive.
Today is a chance to celebrate our young people, listen to their voices and recognise the strength, pride and potential they bring to our communities.
Strong children. Strong culture. Strong future.
