Achieve Something Great
Join the Aboriginal Chronic Care Program (ACCP), a small but dedicated multidisciplinary team committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people across South Western Sydney. The team includes Aboriginal Health Workers and Practitioners, Care Coordinators, Dietitians, Clinical Nurse Consultants, administration staff, a Clinical Team Leader, Facility Manager and Program Manager, working together across clinic sites at Wellama (Bankstown), Budyari (Miller) and the ACCP offices in Miller. ACCP provides culturally safe, patient‑centred care for Aboriginal patients and their families living with chronic and complex health conditions, with a strong focus on holistic wellbeing and mutual support within the team. Through integrated team care and strong partnerships with GPs, Aboriginal Health Services and other healthcare providers, the program supports early detection, education, lifestyle improvement and coordinated care, with the ultimate goal of empowering clients toward self‑management and contributing to Closing the Gap in health outcomes. The service spans the Dharawal, Gundungurra and Darug Nations, covering Bankstown, Fairfield, Liverpool, Campbelltown, Camden, the Macarthur region, Wollondilly and Wingecarribee.

You value teamwork and partnership, building strong relationships with patients, families, carers and service providers to help navigate the health system and improve access to care. You are motivated by making a meaningful difference in Aboriginal health outcomes and thrive in a supportive, community‑focused environment where culture, connection and collaboration are central to care delivery.
