Aboriginal services

We support Aboriginal + Torres Strait Islander people in a way that respects culture + beliefs.  

We offer a range of services if you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person seeking support.

These include assistance with homelessness or accommodation if you’re visiting Adelaide, as well as support for drug and alcohol use.

Our services

Supporting your cultural needs + connection to community

There are often many things that affect someone’s wellbeing. These might include social disadvantage, trauma, poverty, or problems with physical and mental health.  

We look at these challenges as a whole as we support you. 

Our support includes cultural healing connection activities and group work. We can link you with mental health support, counselling and case management. We can connect you with other people and groups in the community to support your wellbeing.
