Purple House
Purple House began 22 years ago with a knock-out exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW which raised over a million dollars. From that moment, families in the most remote parts of the desert created their own organisation – one built on caring, compassion, and determination.
In 2004, Purple House delivered its first dialysis service in Kintore, the first of its kind, and since then we have expanded across 20 remote communities in NT, SA and WA. We also run two mobile dialysis trucks, provide a range of support services, and have grown into a successful social enterprise with big plans for the future.
Our mission is to improve the lives of people with renal failure, reunite families, and reduce the impact of kidney disease in our communities. We are run by Aboriginal people for Aboriginal people, and our values of Walytja (family), Tjukurrpa (dreaming), Ngurra (Country), and Kuunyi (compassion) guide everything we do.
