We’re growing!
Over the next 2 years, Purple House will be building 14 new dialysis clinics across the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia, helping more people get home on Country.
The number of our dialysis chairs will grow from 58 to 110 which is almost 90%! Making it possible for more patients to return home to Country, more families able to stay together, more Elders to share their knowledge and keep communities strong.
Stay tuned, we’ll keep this page updated as each project develops!

Help us make this happen!
To provide dialysis to all these communities means Purple House are going to need more support than ever!
To care for these new patients and operate all these new clinics, we will need more staff (96% more dialysis nurses!!), we will need to be prepared to do more laundry, cook more meals, travel more kilometres, maintain more buildings, have more cars, more laptops and more bush medicine to name just a few of the areas of our business that will be growing.
If you would like to support us please consider donating, volunteering or joining our growing team.
