Seniors Support

We deliver a range of aged care services that are consistent with the National Aged Care Quality Standards. We have a vision for aged care in Minyerri to keep our community strong through our elders remaining in community and having the opportunity to pass on culture to our future generations.

Care Finder supports older people over 65 years of age, or over 45 years if Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, who:

• have no carer or support person who can help them, or

• are eligible for government-funded aged care

Care Finder helps older people to learn about, apply for and set up support services. Anglicare NT provides this free service in Darwin, Palmerston and the rural area, Katherine and Alice Springs.

If you require more information or are unsure if a referral is appropriate for our service, please contact the Care Finder team on (08) 8985 0000.

Our education sessions are designed to give you the opportunity to talk about your experiences, ask the questions that are important to you regarding the individual and their plans and learn how to move forward with positive care techniques. Our aim is to help you feel confident in providing positive care for the participants you care for and your care team.

Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation (Purple House) runs from its headquarters in a suburban house in Alice Springs.

Purple House’s mission is ‘Making all our families well’. Flexibility and cultural safety are at the centre of everything we do. It’s the ‘Purple House way’.

We now offer remote dialysis, social support, aged-care and NDIS services, and run a bush medicine social enterprise called Bush Balm. And our services are expanding. Since the opening of the first dialysis clinic in Kintore in 2004, we now run 19 remote clinics and two mobile dialysis units called the Purple Truck, which allows patients to head back home to visit family, for festivals, funerals and other cultural business. We are always getting new requests to open dialysis units in new communities and have a number of projects in progress.
