SAACCON and Coalition of Peaks

The Coalition of Peaks is a group of 50 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled peak bodies who represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in all areas important to our lives. These areas include health, legal aid, education, land and water rights, disability support, media and family violence. There are peaks at a national level and peaks who work in different States and Territories. 


South Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation Network (SAACCON) is a peak organisation representing South Australia  at the Coalition of Peaks.  Auspiced by Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement, it is a network of Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in SA and has been established to provide advice, recommendations and guidance to the Coalition of Peaks, and the South Australian, Commonwealth and Local Governments on the Refresh of Closing the Gap 2019-2029.
