Our History

ATSICHS Mackay provides comprehensive primary and

population health care services to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Mackay and surrounding districts. Primary health care services include clinical primary health care, social and emotional wellbeing, and prevention and population health programs and services to the community. The Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service (Mackay) Ltd was established in 1978 by the Mackay & District Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander community. The purpose of this service was to improve primary health care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Mackay regions and as a policy advocacy and development body for all Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people in the Mackay district. The Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service (Mackay) Ltd region includes the shires of Mackay, Whitsunday, and Isaac. The Health service is funded primarily by the Federal Government through the Commonwealth Department of Health and Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. The focus of the service is to ensure the Primary Health Care of the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders is equitable to that of the main stream health system. The organisation is responsible and accountable for the day-to-day operation and management of the health service.

Strengthening cultural authority in vocational education is an important step in ensuring the ACCHO workforce is shaped by community context, sector experience and cultural integrity.

That’s why QAIHC welcomed 12 leaders from eight Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations to the QAIHC office in Meanjin (Brisbane) for the first learning block of the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, over 16–20 February.

Delivered in partnership with Blueprint Career Development RTO #30978, the program is designed to support experienced ACCHO staff to become qualified trainers and assessors, which strengthens the sector’s ability to lead workforce development.

Over an intensive five-day retreat, participants worked through key components of the qualification including:
🔸adult learning principles
🔸facilitation practice
🔸assessment design
🔸vocational education compliance requirements

QAIHC Workforce & Development Jurisdiction Manager Adam Stephen acknowledged the commitment of the participants and the support of their organisations in enabling them to step away from operational responsibilities to undertake training.

Adam also thanked Blueprint’s lead trainer Jenny, whose delivery challenged and supported the cohort, setting “a strong standard for what quality training partnerships can look like when aligned with sector needs.”

The cohort will return later this month to complete their final learning block.
