Why Pur­ple House?

Pur­ple House is a non-prof­it Indige­nous health ser­vice oper­at­ing from a base in Alice Springs. The Pin­tupi com­mu­ni­ties of the West­ern Desert saw their elders with end stage renal fail­ure forced into town to access ser­vices, so they built an organ­i­sa­tion that has been get­ting peo­ple home on coun­try by pro­vid­ing cul­tur­al­ly appro­pri­ate remote dial­y­sis ser­vices for two decades. This inno­v­a­tive organ­i­sa­tion has grown to oper­ate per­ma­nent units in 19 remote communities.

What’s it like liv­ing in Alice Springs?

Alice Springs is a small town of just 29,000 peo­ple locat­ed in the Red Cen­tre of Aus­tralia, also known as the spir­i­tu­al heart­land of the coun­try. With its dusty red earth, friend­ly locals and plung­ing sky­line, you’ll not be dis­ap­point­ed by this remote town that punch­es way above its weight. Stun­ning land­scapes, remote com­mu­ni­ties, and a unique pio­neer­ing his­to­ry cre­ate a diverse and exhil­a­rat­ing des­ti­na­tion to explore. A thriv­ing, spir­it­ed out­back cen­tre, Alice Springs is as famous for the per­son­al­i­ty of its locals and con­tem­po­rary and tra­di­tion­al art as the nat­ur­al won­ders, includ­ing the stun­ning Lara­p­in­ta Trail and the Mac­Don­nell Ranges, which sur­round it.
