For over 20 years, Purple House has been helping people living with kidney disease get back home to Country.
With support from Aboriginal Investment NT, a new, fit-for-purpose facility in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) will expand care, create jobs, and strengthen culturally safe services — helping even more communities stay connected to Country.

“The funding from Aboriginal Investment will help Purple House continue growing our dialysis services, so more of our people can receive lifesaving treatment on Country, while staying close to family, culture and community. As we grow, it is important that our facilities and workforce grow with us. This project will create a more efficient, sustainable and culturally safe workplace for our team, in turn making it easier to attract, train and retain staff, with a strong focus on growing our Aboriginal workforce and creating meaningful career pathways.
We sincerely thank Aboriginal Investment for investing not only in the infrastructure we need now, but in our people, our communities and the future of Purple House. This investment will strengthen our ability to continue providing high-quality care in remote communities for many years to come and support more people to return home, back to country” said Purple House Deputy CEO, Natasha McCormack.

From 20+ remote dialysis clinics to the iconic Purple Truck, they now support 200–300 people each year to receive care closer to home across communities across the Northern Territory as well as WA and SA.
