Overview

The Aboriginal Communities Development Program (ACDP) aims to improve the health and living standards of Aboriginal communities in NSW. An investment of $240 million over ten years contributes to addressing the major environmental health issues of a selected number of communities. The ACDP program will focus on three key areas including:

• priority communities
• housing for health
• water and sewerage

In addition to the environmental health of the selected communities the program aims to also promote employment and training opportunities.
The program is scheduled for completion in June 2010.
