Apunipima Cape York Health Council is a primary health care service provider and lead agency representing a holistic approach to health issues in the Cape York Region with the aim to support Cape York communities own solutions to live long healthy lives, strengthening our culture and regaining our spirit.

The organisation is directed with the Governing Committee and is dedicated to health advocacy for the health needs of Cape York Indigenous communities.

Apunipima was the first Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation covering Cape York and was a new model in Aboriginal health services. The Apunipima Health Council is committed to working with the mainstream health system to coordinate improved health service delivery, and to fill the gaps in services as prioritised by the communities that make up the membership.

The peak bodies for Aboriginal Health that work closely with Apunipima are Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council (QAIHC) and National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO).

Apunipima forms an integral part of the interwoven web of regional organisations that represent the grass roots - the community people.
