AHO has delivered another multi-unit development for local the Aboriginal community in Casino, including 4 x 3 bedroom and 4 x 2-bedroom villas, of which 2 of the 2-bedroom villas are adaptable. All the villas feature modern bathrooms, kitchens, solar and air conditioning. This project was particularly challenging for the AHO due to Covid lockdown, two flooding events, and material and resource scarcity. Well done to the AHO team for delivering these homes, which will be managed by Aboriginal Housing Provider, Coodjingburra H.O.M.E, and tenanted to Aboriginal people.

Strong Family, Strong Communities Co-Design Evaluation July 23

A compendium report developed by AHO Research & Analysis, summarising findings from an independent evaluation of co-designed programs.

The evaluation looked at programs that the AHO co-delivered with four Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOS) from 2019-2021.

The purpose of the evaluation was to build an evidence base on what successful and culturally appropriate co-design looks like in the context of designing programs and services with Aboriginal communities.
