The national peak body for Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organisations has welcomed Labor's ministerial appointments, including the reappointment of Senator Malarndirri McCarthy as Minister for Indigenous Australians.

Having worked closely with the Government in their first term over health funding for Indigenous people across the country, the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) thanked Senator McCarthy for her "continued leadership" as Minister.

The organisation also welcomed Mark Butler, who along with the Health portfolio, has added Disability and the NDIS to his responsibilities; Emma McBride on her reappointment as Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention and Assistant Minister for Rural and Regional Health; and Rebecca White on her new federal roles as Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, Assistant Minister for Indigenous Health, and Assistant Minister for Women.

"Additionally, we congratulate the Hon Marion Scrymgour MP on her appointment as Special Envoy for Remote Communities," NACCHO said in a statement.

"These ministerial appointments come at a crucial time for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, and NACCHO looks forward to enhanced collaboration with the Australian Government to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities."

Chief Executive, Pat Turner AM, said NACCHO was excited to work on policies that directly impacted Indigenous people across the country.

"As Prime Minister Albanese has emphasised: 'We will be a government that supports reconciliation with First Nations people, because we will be a stronger nation when we close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians'," Ms Turner said.

"NACCHO remains committed to working in partnership with the government to ensure health programs and services effectively meet the needs and aspirations of our communities."

The Gudanji-Arrernte woman added: "Closing the Gap requires a united, whole-of-government approach, and these appointments represent an encouraging step toward achieving meaningful, sustainable improvements in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing."
