NEW renal dialysis units will be installed in six remote locations, enabling First Nations people with severe kidney diseases to receive lifesaving treatment closer to their communities.
The new dialysis chairs and associated infrastructure will be installed in:
South Australia - Coober Pedy and Yalata;
Western Australia - Balgo; and
Northern Territory - Atitjere (Harts Range), Borroloola, and Ti-Tree.
Purple House will deliver the new sites.
They represent the first round of sites selected for up to 30 dialysis units for First Nations patients, which will be provided over the next four years at a cost of $45m.
The Federal Govt is funding the new units for $13.13m with more locations to come.
