The Queensland Aboriginal & Islander Health Forum (QAIHF) was established in 1990 and reconstituted in 2004 as the Queensland Aboriginal & Islander Health Council (QAIHC).
QAIHC is the state peak body representing the Community Controlled Health Sector in Queensland at both state and national level. Its membership comprises 19 Community Controlled Health Services (CCHS) located throughout Queensland.
Coordination at a state level is achieved through the Queensland Aboriginal & Islander Health Partnership established under the Queensland Agreement on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health. The Partnership is made up of senior representatives from QAIHC, Queensland Health and the Australia Department of Health and Ageing and ATSIC.
Nationally, QAIHC represents the Community Controlled Health Sector through its affiliation and membership on the board of the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO). |
