Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing services in our region focus on the Aboriginal Communities’ knowledge of their needs and how to address them.
At all times, cultural safety is respected, creating an environment which is safe for people to be who they are and express what they need.
The services below are offered by mainstream and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCO) or Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHO) based in eastern and north eastern Melbourne.
