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.
