our health in our hands about us chairperson's message < governance planned services chairperson's message Welcome. Pangula Mannamurna is an Aboriginal community-controlled health service operating in the South East Region of South Australia. The organisation was established when the South East Nungas Community Organisation Inc (SENCO) merged with the South East Aboriginal Partnership Inc (SEAP) in 2004. The name 'Pangula Mannamurna' is from the Boandik language; pangula means 'medicine man' and mannamurna means 'joining in hands'. Consistent with this meaning, the aim of this site is to assist in linking up health resources for Indigenous people living in the South East. Pangula Mannamurna is currently going through rapid change. It has recently expanded from being a Social and Emotional Wellbeing service to a broader primary health care service and has attempted to provide more of its services across the South East Region. It has also relocated to the 'Gordon Education Centre' where it will provide services as part of a 'one-stop-shop'. The challenge ahead is to ensure that its administrative and information systems develop with the demands of increased service provision. Among other things, Pangula Mannamurna is intending to develop its child & maternal health program and develop and formalise partnerships with other agencies.

We, as Indigenous people, need to maintain our connectedness and build upon the strengths of our culture and I hope that this website can contribute to this end.
