Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia Purple House WDNWPT Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year
About Us

We began 22 years ago with a knock-out exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW which raised over a million dollars. People from the remotest, most beautiful parts of the desert used that money to build their own organisation — with a culture of caring, compassion, and determination.

Our mission is to improve the lives of people with renal failure, reunite families, and reduce the incidence of kidney disease in our communities. We are run by Aboriginal people, for Aboriginal people, providing culturally appropriate dialysis and support services in remote communities — helping people to get home to Country and family.

Today, we're proud to operate dialysis in 20 remote communities across NT, SA, and WA. We also run two mobile dialysis trucks, provide a range of social support and wellbeing services, operate a successful social enterprise, and have big plans for more
