Mr Justin Mohamed, Chair of the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) revealed that this new policy has six high priority areas that will address problems among men from different ages, regions, populations, communities etc. He said, Many Aboriginal men took part in meetings to develop NACCHO ™s own Aboriginal Male Health policy and also contributed to the government ™s National Male Health PolicySome of the needs Aboriginal men have identified included male wellness centres, a concept similar to men ™s sheds, and more support for men ™s roles as part of their familyThe Prime Minister recognised these needs in the policy launch package with funding allocated for men ™s sheds and the Strong Fathers, Strong Families programs for Aboriginal Men.In consultations, Aboriginal men have often highlighted the importance to their wellbeing of their ties to, and valued roles in, their families and communities.The allocation of $6m, out of the total $16.7m launch package, for the Strong Fathers, Strong Families program is a significant boost to Aboriginal men and Aboriginal families.This new funding can build on the valuable work already being done within urban, regional and remote Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services supporting men and families, which includes support for men ™s groups and male wellness centres. He added, We welcome both the Prime Minister and Minister Warren Snowdon ™s support for developing this policy.
