Chairperson Report (cont.)Before the next Budget in 2015 we will be releasing the second Aboriginal Community ControlledHealth Service National Key Performance Report Card which will no doubt reaffirm the pivotalrole member services play currently and in the future as we continue our dynamic work inaddressing health needs within our Communities through Aboriginal Community Controlled HealthOrganisations.And we will continue to consult with you, our members, to make sure your voice is heard when weengage with these politicians and senior leaders.Together with NACCHO we need all our affiliates and members services to step up at this critical time.While NACCHO is having some success advocating in Canberra, we are calling on all our memberservices to engage with their local Members of Parliament.Nothing sends as powerful a message about the contribution our services make to their communitiesas when a Senator or Member of Parliament visits an ACCHS and sees firsthand what we do. Thesegrass roots experiences of Members deliver strong advocates for us when push comes to shove withinParliament House as politicians decide on our financial future.Many ACCHSs will already have solid relationships and I encourage you to continue to foster these. Forthose who don’t, NACCHO has created a basic ‘how to’ kit which includes template invitation letters,calendar of Parliamentary sitting days and a fact sheet on Aboriginal Community Controlled Healthwhich you can download.If we can get every sitting Senator and MP into their local ACCHS over the next six months we will bein a very strong position in the lead up to the next Federal budget.The last twelve months has also seen NACCHO continue to strengthen our relationships and supporterbase external to government.We continue to play a key role in the Close the Gap steering committee and are working on a plan aspart of this group to reinvigorate the campaign.6NACCHO Annual Report 2014 internal.indd 65/11/14 11:16 AM
Chairperson Report (cont.)Earlier this year the members of the National Health Leadership Forum (NHLF) agreed to move outfrom under the banner of National Congress and have returned to operate independently as a groupof member-based National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health bodies. It was agreed thatNACCHO would be the lead organisation for the group and I was appointed as Chairperson.To date the NHLF has focused its attention on the revision of the Close the Gap Steering Committee’sgoals and activities, development of a implementation plan for the Federal Government’s recentlyannounced National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Health Plan and continuing the work toinvestigate the potential for the Canberra based NHLF members to be co-located in a purpose-builtfacility.Working with partners such as Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust and the Fred HollowsFoundation we also launched a tri-state Trachoma Elimination Program to continue the quest foreliminating avoidable trachoma from Aboriginal communities.At the international level, NACCHO again represented Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanderinterests at the United Nations Permanent Forum in Indigenous Issues and Chaired the AustralianIndigenous Peoples Organisations meetings over the duration of the forum.During this time NACCHO held meetings with other Indigenous peoples from around the worldsharing our successes and ideas with each other. The special theme for 2014 was “Principles of goodgovernance consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples:articles 3 to 6 and 46”.NACCHO was well placed to provide best practice exemplars on good governance pertaining tothe community controlled sector, and our representatives provided written interventions andrecommendations on good governance, as well as addressing standing items on the health andwellbeing of Indigenous children and youth. These included recommendations that; the UNPFII workwith Indigenous networks to explore and report on the cultural determinants of health for Indigenouschildren; the UNPFII, IASG and co-opted expertise report on the evidence demonstrating link betweenpositive cultural practices, resilience and wellbeing for Indigenous children; and that, ECOSOC and theUNPFII explore and report on models of Indigenous community control as best practice exemplars ofgood governance.We also had the opportunity to attend official meetings with the Australian Embassy and otherAustralian government representatives who were attending the forum, discussing a number of topicsincluding the impact of recent budget announcements, international trends that may impact onAustralia and how Australia is tracking against the UN Rights of Indigenous Peoples.It has been another huge year for NACCHO and I would like to thank our secretariat lead by our CEOLisa Briggs, our State and Territory Affiliates and all our members for their support through this yearand for the past five years as Chairperson of the NACCHO Board.The words I wrote on my hand for the NACCHO Summit video were: Unity = Strength.It’s our unity, our collective purpose and our commitment that has got us here, forty-three years afterthe Redfern Aboriginal Medical Service first opened its doors. It’s these things that will ensure wecontinue our dynamic model that has been built on the strength of Aboriginal Health in AboriginalHands well beyond the next 43 years.Justin MohamedChairperson7NACCHO Annual Report 2014 internal.indd 75/11/14 11:16 AM
