Description
The health status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is much poorer than the population as a whole. In order to address this disparity, the Australian Government funds Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) to provide a range of primary health care services to Aboriginal people. This Evidence Brief examines the evidence of the effectiveness of ACCHS found in the academic literature, asseses its quality, and analyses the implications for policymakers.
