First Nations Led Health Funding

Spinifex Foundation SA changing the way Health and Wellbeing is funded.

Definition & Approach

In our commitment to self-determination we support and fund Spinifex Foundation SA an Indigenous Led Fund established to address the needs and aspirations of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in South Australia.

"It's not about empowering our community, it's about powering up our community".

The Foundation has always held the view that everyone should be able to live safe, healthy lives with good wellbeing, however historic and current policies and injustices have led to inequitable health and wellbeing outcomes for First Nations people and communities. 

Spinifex Foundation SA is the result of years of relationship-building, careful design, community informed and community-led decision-making to found an organisation that is grounded in community, guided by culture, and committed to doing things differently. The Foundation is proud to have been on the journey of its development over the past few years, and even more so for our ongoing partnership into the future.


The Vision

A future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander South Australians are prosperous in all aspects of life, living healthier, longer and stronger with equal opportunity, while upholding cultural identity and community individuality for generations to come.
