About VACCHO
Who we are
​
Founded in 1996, the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) is the peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing in Victoria.
​
With a large membership of Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), VACCHO has a simple aim: ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have access to high-quality, culturally safe health, wellbeing, and social services – wherever they are in Victoria.
Our Vision
​
At VACCHO, our vision is a future of vibrant, healthy, self-determining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
​
This vision for vibrant, healthy, self-determining Aboriginal communities is at the heart of our five-year strategy, On Solid Ground. This strategy guides VACCHO towards fostering strength, sustainability and innovation in the Aboriginal health and wellbeing sector – for generational change.
​
From 2021 to 2026, we are committed to an outcomes-based approach that sharpens our focus on what truly matters, measures what counts and empowers Members and Community to shape their future.
