Membership

Our Governance is strong because Aboriginal people are in control of the Governance and have done so from our inception. Our Directors, elected by our Members, maintain a strong commitment to good governance working together and closely with our CEO and other senior management team members to benefit Aboriginal people who access CAAPS services. We strive for a balance between male and female members.
