25-years

Published

This Saturday, 14 September, celebrates 25 years since Apunipima Cape York Health Council emerged from a health conference held at Pajinka Wilderness Lodge, near Injinoo, in 1994.

The conference was attended by representatives of 17 Cape York communities and associated homelands concerned about poor health status of Cape York Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

In the two short decades since our inception we have grown from a small advocacy organisation to the largest Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation in Queensland.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years, your support will always be remembered.
