This document discusses the transition of an organization from focusing on AIDS Council to expanding its focus to include other community health issues under the new name ACON. It lists new areas of focus such as alcohol and other drugs, mental health, aging, violence and homophobia, and lesbian health. It also notes that consultation, a clear change process, support from NSW Health, investment, and a think tank helped with the transition, while ongoing consultation, managing community and external expectations, inclusion, and funding remain ongoing challenges.
