Programs

SAWCAN focuses on improving Aboriginal health through three main areas of support to our Member Organisations by:

Building local capacity: SAWCAN works to empower our Member Organisations by providing them with the skills and training required to implement community health programs, including aged care, disability services, and maternal and child health programs.
Advocacy: We advocate to state and federal governments on regional matters, as directed by the Governing Board of SAWCAN. This ensures that the unique needs and challenges of our communities are recognised and addressed at a policy level.
Regional coordination: SAWCAN provides coordination of programs across the region, ensuring that services are delivered efficiently and effectively to those who need them most.

Our current projects and service offerings include:

Working hand-in-hand with community, SAWCAN is striving to forge connections through this scheme.

The Culture Care Connect program exists to help prevent suicide and provide holistic aftercare for community.

This program provides support to our Elders through culturally sensitive care. It aims to keep people on Country, so we can live life our way.

SAWCAN has the ability to support its Partner Organisations with Registered Nurse backfill and support on an as-needed basis.

The Remote Community Connectors program helps to bridge the gap between the NDIS and communities.

We’re working with you to change your lifestyle.
