Moorundi

What Moorundi does

Moorundi Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service Ltd. (Moorundi ACCHS) is a community-governed, non-profit primary healthcare organisation delivering comprehensive clinical and wellbeing services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across South Australia's lower-Murray and Fleurieu regions. Founded following community consultations with the Ngarrindjeri people in 2002 and registered under ABN 51885775376, Moorundi operates from its headquarters at 124 Adelaide Road, Murray Bridge, with additional service locations in Victor Harbor, Meningie, and Goolwa. Its core offerings include general clinical and allied health services, the Becoming Strong Children Team (early childhood intervention), the Healing Our Spirit wellbeing program, and a free 715 Health Check screening pathway.

The organisation's product surface extends beyond clinical care into preventative wellness and youth engagement. The Nungas Community Gym (launched 2021) provides free 24/7 access to registered members contingent on completing a 715 Health Check, while the Fit & Deadly Futures program (funded 2021 and 2022 by Wellbeing SA) delivers running, walking, and basketball initiatives. Moorundi also runs Yarning Circles and Playgroups as culturally-grounded community engagement vehicles and operates an information/training/communications function supporting community health education. The Cultural Safety Training Workshop, accredited by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) for CPD credits, adds a paid commercial offering with tiered pricing from $120 per individual concession participant to $3,000 per workshop for government or for-profit organisations.

Moorundi's revenue model is dominated by Australian Government and state-level grant/commissioning inflows (Country SA PHN, Australian Government Department of Health, Wellbeing SA), supplemented by Cultural Safety Training fees. A 2023 Major Capital Works grant is funding a new purpose-built health facility at the Murray Bridge headquarters. The organisation is governed by a community-elected Board of Directors and led by Chief Executive Steven Sumner Snr, operating under the self-determination principles typical of the ACCHS sector.
