The best healthcare enables people to remain where they belong. Located on Pitjantjatjara Country, 670 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs, Tjilpi Pampaku Ngura Flexible Aged Care enables Elders to remain on Country, close to family, culture and community while receiving residential care. Developed through years of participatory design, the 32-bed facility combines culturally responsive planning, resilient off-grid infrastructure and architectural quality, establishing a model of healthcare in which Country, culture, community and clinical care are inseparable.
