SA Health is committed to improving the health outcomes of Aboriginal people in South Australia.

Aboriginal people experience poorer health and greater exposure to risk factors than other South Australians.

SA Health is working to address this inequality by ensuring mainstream health services are more responsive to the needs of Aboriginal people.

Our Aboriginal health services work together with local communities to offer:

  • health screening tests
  • chronic disease management
  • illness prevention
  • counselling
  • healthy lifestyle advice
  • adult and child health checks
  • health care plans
  • referrals.

They also assist other health workers in understanding the needs and culture of the Aboriginal community.

Providing greater access to Aboriginal health services will make a long term improvement to the health and wellbeing of South Australia’s Aboriginal people.
