Umoona Aged Care Aboriginal Corporation in Coober Pedy is an Aboriginal community-controlled aged care organisation providing culturally appropriate residential and community aged care for Anangu (Western Desert Aboriginal people) and other Aboriginal Elders living in Coober Pedy — the opal-mining capital of the world, 850 km north of Adelaide in the outback. The corporation delivers aged care services that respect the culture, language, and connections to Country of Aboriginal Elders from the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands and other desert communities, providing a culturally safe alternative to mainstream aged care in this remote mining town where Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal residents live side by side. The unique underground dugout culture of Coober Pedy — where residents escape the extreme heat in subterranean homes — shapes the experience of living and ageing in this extraordinary outback community.
