The Army Aboriginal Community Assistance Program (AACAP) is a co-operative initiative between the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaCSIA), the Department of Health and Ageing ( DoHA ) and Army to improve environmental health conditions within remote Aboriginal communities.
Each project has a construction component, a health component and a training component.
The construction component focuses on the provision of environmental health infrastructure such as housing, water, sewerage and electrical services as well as improving access to primary health care facilities by constructing or upgrading roads and airfields.
The health component focuses on augmenting existing community medical, dental and veterinary programs.
The training component focuses on specific skills required within the community and includes courses on construction and building maintenance, vehicle and small engine maintenance, welding, concreting and cooking.
