North Coast Aboriginal Corporation for Community Health (NCACCH) is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service located at Birtinya on the Sunshine Coast, and Gympie Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS), Queensland.
NCACCH provides health services to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members residing in the Sunshine Coast and Gympie region, an area totaling over 7000sq km.
Our core business is to bring the status of Indigenous health up to mainstream standards by providing high quality and accessible primary health services to community members.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community of the Sunshine Coast and Gympie region expressed the need for a Health Service that would deliver culturally appropriate health care services. Due to the challenges associated with providing health care services to a population of more than 7000 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community members across an area of approximately 7000sq kilometres, transport/access was always going to be a key factor.
