Australia expands dialysis services in remote First Nations communities

Seven remote locations have been selected for the new services.

The Australian government has allocated $12.04m (A$18.58m) to establish new dialysis units in remote First Nations communities.

Seven remote locations have been selected for the new services, namely Alekarenge, Galiwin’ku, Maningrida, and Yuendumu in the Northern Territory, Jigalong and Warburton in Western Australia, and Normanton in Queensland.

These areas were chosen based on factors such as local demand, the distance to existing services, and community support for establishing local treatment facilities.

The funding is part of the third round of a $47.4m (A$73.2m) investment in “Better Renal Services for First Nations Peoples”.

A$1 = $0.65
