Child and Adolescent Health

The Aboriginal Health Team (AHT) provides culturally appropriate and secure services to the Aboriginal community across the Perth metropolitan area with children from birth to five years. CACH AHT provides additional support to families through targeted and intensive services, specifically designed for vulnerable families. Services focus on children, adolescents, young people and their families. There are nine teams at local community health centres across Perth. These teams have Aboriginal Health Workers and Community Health Nurses who provide specialised health services for Aboriginal families. AHT also has a Medical Officer, a Speech Pathologist, an Occupational Therapist, Aboriginal Health Promotion Officers, and an Aboriginal Liaison Officer who work with the local teams and Aboriginal families.
