CLOSING THE GAP AND IECD
(INDIGENOUS EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT)

CMSAC has been successful in obtaining funds for a program that will create better access for our clients in outreach areas. It is funded by the Commonwealth Government and overseen by the State Government. This is an important step in working towards healthier and longer lives for Aboriginal people.

Each of the program areas is needed for our CMSAC community. We will be working in partnership with other service providers and community groups to ensure that we work in with everyone and don’t duplicate services.

  • Antenatal screening
