One of the key pieces of feedback from the sector has been the need for long-term sustainable and flexible funding so ACCHOs can focus on their core business of delivering high-quality, culturally appropriate care for First Nations people. That's why, from July 2024, we have delivered an additional $300 million to implement rolling funding agreements for ACCHOs, bringing total funding under the comprehensive primary healthcare program to $2.7 billion over four years, providing certainty and flexibility for their operations. That brings the government's total investment under the Indigenous Australians' Health Program to $4.7 billion. We are also investing in modern health infrastructure, upgrading and expanding clinics in the areas of greatest need. This includes $8.9 million for Moorundi Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service in Murray Bridge and $1.5 million for Wuchopperen Health Service in Queensland. (Time expired)
