Overview

In June 2008, NSW Health launched a new direction of Chronic care for Aboriginal people (CCAP) programs and initiatives. All existing and new initiatives designed for Indigenous people with a chronic disease are now under this strategic program direction.

Former programs include:

• Aboriginal vascular health program (AVHP)

• Aboriginal renovascular program

• Aboriginal chronic care area health service standards (ACCAHSS)

CCAP program provides centralised information including links and publications about Indigenous chronic health. The program aims to provide a practical approach to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal people with or at risk of developing a chronic disease. It can be used by any health service provider as a framework to review and map to their existing programs or new strategies.
