25.01.2022 It's #NAIDOC week, a time to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The 2020 theme - Always Was, Always Will Be - recognises that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have lived and cared for this land for over 65,000 years. As part of the development of our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) we have been learning more about the region in which we work. Adelaide PHN is based on Kaurna land and includes... places of cultural significance such as Karrawirra Parri (River Torrens) and Warriparinga (a place used for gathering and storytelling).
