OUR GOAL

We share the same goas and build on the Australian Government's commitment to 'Closing the Gap' by 2031. Their shared goal-Our shared goal is to:

'Realise health equality by 2023, which is consistent with the Council of Australian Governments' health goals for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We know that good health enables Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to have the best possible start to life, and adults to lead active, full and productive lives'.

We will support the three priorities of improving school attendance, workforce participation and building safe communities, which are the key drivers in improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

'We know that any work in these priority areas must be underpinned by improving the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities'.

We will work with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, our key service delivery stakeholders and our funders. Together we will improve the lives of our people, we will realise our aspirations, and we will build the future for our next generation of leaders.  

Our Goal

Yadu Health Aboriginal Corporation (YHAC) was previously known as Ceduna Kooniba Aboriginal Health Service (CKAHS) was established in 1986 to provide culturally appropriate and preventive health care, education programs and clinical service to the Aboriginal community.

In late 2006, the Minister of Health announced his intention to introduce a new Health Care Act which would provide for more direct control and accountability. The Minister acknowledged the need for Yadu Health to be given the option to become Community Controlled. In June 2008, the Health Advisory Council (HAC) of Yadu Health Aboriginal Corporation advised Country Health SA that they wished to work towards becoming community controlled with the transition date being the 1st July 2010. The HAC subsequently revised the timeframe with the transition date becoming the 1st July 2011.

Yadu Health officially transitioned to the not for profit Aboriginal Community Controlled Health sector on 1 July 2011 and subsequently became Yadu Health Aboriginal Corporation.
