At SHINE SA, we are committed to working respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.
We recognise that reconciliation is an ongoing journey. We are listening, learning and working to build stronger relationships and ensure our work is culturally safe, inclusive and informed by community.
Through our services, education, resources and partnerships, we aim to support the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and contribute to more equitable health outcomes.

Our courses aim to provide Aboriginal workers with an increased level of knowledge and confidence when working with clients and colleagues in the area of sexual and reproductive health and relationships.
The SHINE SA Schools Education and Support Team provides training suitable to Aboriginal education workers, teachers, SSOs, principals and counsellors who work with Aboriginal young people in schools.
For sexual health services, you can make an appointment or drop in to a clinic. Counselling services are available for individuals, couples and families. Telephone appointments can be requested, especially for rural / remote clients.
Our clinical teams at SHINE SA include doctors, registered nurses/midwives and counsellors.
We have a number of Aboriginal-specific resources available for purchase from our online shop, including card sets, board games and posters.
