ACHIEVE was recently succesful in its application to be included on the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH) National Advisory and Development Multi-use List.

"We were successful in all 6 categories we applied for" explained Managing Director, Peter Lindsay. "This was made possible with the ongoing involvement of Stephen Blunden as our key Aboriginal Consultant and mentor, and by facilitating a consortium with Chau Hennessy Professional Accountants (previously known as Caldwell Chau Professional Accountants).  This provides us with a unique team with high level skills and extensive experience."

Chau Hennessy add comprehensive and highly professional accountancy and business management expertise.
