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.

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.
