The Australian Allied Health Leadership Forum was established in 2013 as a collaboration between allied health organisations working together on issues of national importance to the allied health workforce and access for the Australian public. The Alliance’s membership includes Indigenous Allied Health Australia (IAHA), Services for Rural and Remote Allied Health (SARRAH), and the Australian Council of Deans of Health Sciences and AHPA. National Allied Health Advisors Committee (NAHAC) holds observer status.
For over 25 years, the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet has been helping to close the gap in health between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and other Australians by making the evidence base freely accessible. It provides in one place the vast knowledge, resources and information needed for health practitioners and policy-makers to make informed decisions and support their work.
The knowledge exchange research aims at providing the knowledge and other information needed for time poor health practitioners and policy-makers to make informed decisions and deliver this in a way that is timely, accessible and relevant.
AHPA is a non voting member of Mental Health Australia (MHA). Mental Health Australia represents and promotes the interests of the Australian mental health sector and aims to promote mentally healthy communities committed to achieving better mental health for all Australians.
The National Aged Care Alliance (NACA) comprises 52 national organisations in aged care, representing consumer groups, providers, unions and health professionals, working together to determine a more positive future for aged care in Australia. Alliance members are concerned about the adequacy of aged care funding and the future sustainability of services.
National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ageing and Aged Care Council (‘NATSIAACC’) is a National Peak body that aims to be an independent voice that will improve the care that our Elders and older people receive. NATSIAACC works with their members across Australia to ensure Elders and older people are able to access support and care that is culturally safe, trauma aware and healing informed, and recognises the importance of their personal connections to community and Country.
Their members are ageing and aged care providers, and organisations with an interest in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led care that support NATSIAACC’s objectives. NATSIAACC provides their members with support and guidance about the issues that their Community face and to learn from the wisdom and experience of Elders and older people.
