Penelope, 73, lives in Moonta Mines and loves her close-knit community. But accessing local healthcare services hasn’t always been easy.

After being referred to Sonder’s Integrated Primary Care (IPC) program, Penelope found something different: local, fully funded support that took the time to listen, understand her story, and meet her where she was at.

With compassionate dietetics support delivered close to home, Penelope began rebuilding her relationship with food, moving her body in ways she enjoyed, and feeling more confident in her health without pressure or judgement.

Our Closing the Gap – Integrated Team Care and Integrated Primary Care teams recently attended Essentials Day at the Balaklava Town Hall, alongside more than 30 other local services and organisations.

It was a great day of chatting with community members and other providers about how to access health services, where to refer people, and what supports are available locally.
