PROGRAMS
After working on the Housing for Health program in 2021, we realised we needed to review and assess how the program was delivered within our communities and Homelands. After this assessment we developed a more community inclusive delivery model to better meet community expectations.
We will work closely with local stakeholders and building companies to complete inspections with a focus on improving the nine healthy living principals in all homes in the Archipelago and engage with local traditional owners who would like to learn the basic skills to maintain their homes. We will provide a culturally appropriate educational program to all households with a view to improving the living conditions of all community and Homelands residents.
The program will be delivered by our Team for our Communities. COVID has delayed the commencement of the program, but we look forward to delivering a sustainable community program focused on improving health, liveability and housing standards.
HOMELANDS SERVICES
AHAC commenced provision of Homelands Services to 40 houses in the communities of Bartalumba Bay, Little Paradise, Malkala, Emerald River, Yenbakwa, Leskie Pools, Thompson Bay, Salt Lake and Four Mile in July 2020. The services provided include housing maintenance and municipal services.
We have developed strong relationships within each Homeland, commenced Homelands Housing Reference Group meetings to ensure consistency in messaging and a strong and cohesive voice for our Homelands residents.

🚨🌟Building Skills That Save Lives 🌟🚨
🚁 Over the past two days, members of the AHAC team have been busy completing their Remote First Aid & CPR Training, gaining valuable skills and confidence to respond in emergency situations.
⛑️ From CPR and first aid scenarios to practical hand-on activities, the training provided a great opportunity to learn new skills, build confidence, and strengthen knowledge that could help save lives.
🙏🏾 A huge thank you to the CareFlight trainers for sharing their knowledge, skills and experience throughout the two-day program. Your engaging approach, hands-on training, and willingness to answer questions helped create a supportive learning environment where staff members felt confident to learn, practice, and build their first aid skills. We appreciate the time and effort you put into delivering such an informative and enjoyable course.
🧡 We'd also like to thank South32 GEMCO for supporting training opportunities like this. Your ongoing support helps provide valuable learning experiences that strengthen our workforce and communities.
