Aboriginal services at Domiciliary Care SA

At Domiciliary Care SA, client feedback has shaped our services to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients.

Our vision is that Domiciliary Care SA will lead the way in providing culturally appropriate, respectful and effective services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We have adopted strategies that address the inequities sometimes experienced by Aboriginal and Islander peoples accessing health services. View:
