Medicines use in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations
This website is designed as a central source of information for health workers involved in prescribing and supplying medicines in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) and other communities. It contains supporting resources for Aboriginal Health Workers and Aboriginal Health Practitioners, nurses, prescribers, and pharmacists working in these areas.
The site provides links to relevant policies, guidelines, prescribing and procurement tools, online learning, and consumer resources. Health workers may also need to refer to additional guidelines and policies at their individual sites.
