Operationally, the entity runs 18 local offices across the Barossa Hills Fleurieu, Eyre and Far North, Flinders and Upper North, Limestone Coast, Riverland Mallee Coorong, and Yorke and Northern regions, with a central intake number (1800 944 912) routing clients to local teams by postcode.

Growth is driven by demographic demand and program expansion rather than market-based competitive activity.
