The South Australian West Coast ACCHO Network (SAWCAN) brings the skills and knowledge of five Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations together to improve the lives of our people.
SAWCAN was established in 2020 as a partnership consisting of five Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) on the Eyre Peninsula and Far West Coast of South Australia.
The ACCHOs include:
- Nunyara Aboriginal Health Service in Whyalla
- Port Lincoln Aboriginal Health Service in Port Lincoln
- Yadu Health Aboriginal Corporation in Ceduna
- Tullawon Health Service in Yalata
- Oak Valley Health Service in Oak Valley
Together, the five partner ACCHOs provide comprehensive primary health care to approximately 5,500 Aboriginal people in a region spanning 1,300 kilometres from Whyalla to the border of Western Australia.

Tackling Indigenous Smoking
Program of the month
Australia’s Tackling Indigenous Smoking Program is a community-led program that aims to improve the health of our people by inspiring all of us to quit or cut down on smokes and vapes. Smoking is a significant health issue within these communities, contributing to various chronic diseases and a reduced life expectancy.

Diabetes Week is a reminder that looking after our health today can make a big difference for the future.
Getting a regular health check can help pick up early signs of diabetes and other health concerns before they become bigger problems.
A 715 Health Check is a great way to stay on top of your health and get the support you need to stay strong and well.
Staying active, eating well and keeping up with regular check-ups can all support a healthier future.
Have a yarn with your local ACCHO about diabetes prevention and support.
