The 2015 NACCHO Ochre Day will be held in Adelaide this year on the 3rd & 4th of September 2015 and we invite you to come along and support this important Aboriginal Male Health initiative.
The purpose of the NACCHO Ochre Day is to not only share knowledge & explore ways to encourage male of all ages to access their local Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service, but also allows us to;
• Build on the recommendations and outcomes from the male only sessions at the NACCHO AGM/Members meeting in November each year as well as to provide an opportunity to draw national public awareness to Aboriginal male health, and social and emotional wellbeing; as well as;
• NACCHO Ochre Day providing us an opportunity to ‘showcase’ exemplars of best practice in Aboriginal male health service delivery within Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services.
ONLY 5 weeks to go so registrations are closing soon
UPDATE : We have received confirmation that AFL Brownlow Medallist Gavin Wanganeen (see Bio Below ) will be a special guest speaker at the NACCHO Ochre Day Jaydon Adams Memorial Oration Dinner on the evening of the 4th September which will be held this year at the Port Power (Adelaide) Football Club.
If you have not been to a NACCHO Ochre Day before then we know that you will benefit from the experience as it is the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Sector’s national primary Male Health event!

NACCHO Ochre Day Jaydon Adams Memorial Oration Dinner (Evening of the 3rd Sept)
So soon after the NACCHO Ochre Day in 2013 in Canberra we all became aware of the sudden & sad passing of Brother Jaydon Adams. Jaydon participated in co-launching the NACCHO Blueprint for Aboriginal Male Healthy Futures alongside NACCHO Chair Mr Justin Mohamed, local Elder Uncle Warren Daly & Prof Pat Dudgeon. NACCHO, along with Jaydon’s Family warmly invites everyone to join us at this dinner at the Port Power (Adelaide) Football Club.
Day Two (4th Sept) This day will begin with a facilitated workshop that will focus on a range of issues. Time will also be set aside to allow for yarning circles for the sharing of knowledge & skills.
Please note that only the “breakfast” on Day One and all of Day Two are Male only.
Female Collegues are invited to participate in activities held in the park (includes lunch) and the Dinner
