Our Stakeholders

The ANFPP is delivered through a network of Partner Organisations who have deep connections to their local communities. Our Partner Organisations deliver the program in culturally-appropriate ways and are able to connect mums with a range of services when necessary. In most cases, our partners are Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations.

Our Partner Organisations deliver the ANFPP to local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in four states and two territories.

Partner Organisations are, in most cases, existing ACCHOs (Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations) that have applied to the Federal Government to be part of the program. These selected health services run the ANFPP alongside their existing programs, so the mothers and babies in the program are connected into existing community and health care networks. This also ensures the program offers holistic care, delivered in a culturally appropriate way.

Currently, there are 15 sites across 14 organisations located in Queensland (Cairns, Brisbane North, Brisbane South), New South Wales (Wellington, Blacktown, Kempsey), ACT (Canberra), Victoria (Goulburn Valley), South Australia (Adelaide), Northern Territory, (Alice Springs, Katherine, Darwin, and including four remote communities, Maningrida, Gunbalanya, Wadeye and Wurrumiyanga with the hub in Darwin) and Western Australia (Kimberley Region, and Pilbara Region).
