Our Health in Our Hands
Apunipima Cape York Health Council is the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO) for Cape York. We deliver primary health care services and wellbeing services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Cape York communities, operating 6 Primary Health Care Centres and 4 Wellbeing Centres throughout the Cape and supporting 11 communities with visiting and outreach services. We pride ourselves on providing culturally appropriate care for all who visit Apunipima, with our services and support tailored to each community through local community governance, and a health worker led model of care.
Community-controlled
Apunipima doesn’t just deliver health and wellbeing services to Cape York, we also represent and advocate for health and wellbeing services for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities of Cape York.
Culturally safe and
holistic care
We strive to provide high-quality holistic health care that meets the needs of our communities, considering physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing of all Cape York people. Our care and services are tailored to each community in-line with the ‘Apunipima Way’.
Our region
Cape York is a vast and beautiful part of Australia. The 17 Cape York communities are some of the most remote in the country, spread across an area of around 288,800km2, with varying access by air and by road and a wet season which limits access to many areas.
