Our People
The Purple House Family
At Purple House, our strength comes from our people—our dedicated staff, board members, and the communities we serve.
It is a family atmosphere where everyone looks after each other and works together to make sure Aboriginal people can stay on Country, with family and culture, while receiving the care they need.
Indigenous Workforce
Purple House was started by community for community.
As an Aboriginal community-controlled organisation we pride ourselves on strong Indigenous leadership, guided by our Directors who are Pintupi Luritja people representing the Western Desert communities who founded us.
Purple House has created an environment which deeply values and celebrates the cultural knowledge, lived experience and relationships brought by our Indigenous staff.
“Culture is at the core of Purple House’s strategic goals and vision. Aboriginal people know the solutions to their problems, we know how to look after our people. Everyday I am inspired, I hear the stories and the challenges of our people, and I just love how Purple House doesn’t have to fit in this box. We can look at different avenues of how to make people healthy not just physically but also spiritually.”
