ACMA are dedicated to building relationships with Traditional Owners and Elders, to navigate the complexities of the aged care system and to working together to enable culturally safe and appropriate care for the elderly amongst their communities.
We have a long history of providing our specialist services to indigenous communities, and ACMA’s principal advisor, Peter Vincent, was the first Independent Nurse Advisor to be appointed to manage issues of non-compliance and sanctions in the Indigenous health arena.
ACMA was able to mobilize at short notice to travel and live in a remote indigenous community for an extended period with relative ease. The clinical and aged care skills delivered met all key deliverables within agreed timeframes. ACMA engaged quietly and professionally gaining the trust of the Indigenous community and its leadership, supporting the continuity of the age care service.
