Recently, Riverland Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council (ADAC) staff and five members of the Men’s Social & Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) group participated in a Suicide alertness SafeTALK workshop at Berri. The training was delivered by AHCSA’s Grant ‘Snowy’ Day and Anne Evans from StandBy - Support after Suicide in partnership with NACCHO and LivingWorks Australia. This was a great opportunity for ADAC staff and members of the Men’s group to become alert to the dangers of suicide, identify someone at risk of suicide and, importantly, connect people having thoughts with intervention resources. Thanks to Sammy Mitchell & Aunty Di Wilson for co-ordinating the training.

Elder Care Support workers from regional and rural SA Community Controlled Organisations recently joined together for a two-day training course at AHCSA. It was a valuable opportunity to meet other Elder Care Support coordinators and connectors - to share, listen and learn from each other. The session focussed on advocacy and building an Elders inclusive community. By linking services with local knowledge, Elder Care Support workers help First Nations Elders, their families and carers to access the right aged care services to meet their physical and cultural needs. #aboriginalhealth #aboriginalworkforce #southaustralia #healthworkers #sahealthy

Students of AHCSA’s first cohort of the First Nations Health Worker Traineeship in Australia were overjoyed to attend a program launch today with the Assistant Minister for Indigenous Health, the Hon Malarndirri McCarthy. Launched on behalf of NACCHO Australia the First Nations Health Worker Traineeship will provide up to 500 First Nations people to study to become either an Aboriginal Health Worker or an Aboriginal Health Practitioner by 2027. AHCSA is the first community controlled organisation to start delivering the program. Training will be delivered by Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Registered Training Organisations (ACCHRTOs) across Australia, with trainees ideally employed by Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) while they study. Representatives from the Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organisations across the nation and members of the Aboriginal community came together at the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia offices on Kaurna Country, Adelaide to see this 500-place nation-wide initiative be undertaken.
