Aged care homes in Normanton, QLD

65 Landsborough St, Normanton QLD 4890, Australia

Kukatja Place in Normanton is an Aboriginal community aged care facility in the remote Gulf Country town of Normanton on the Norman River, 700 km west of Cairns, providing culturally appropriate residential or day care for Aboriginal Elders of the Gangalidda, Waanyi, and Gulf Country Aboriginal communities. The facility offers a culturally safe environment where Aboriginal Elders can receive care close to their Country, family, and community connections in the Gulf of Carpentaria region, rather than being displaced to Cairns or Townsville for aged care. Normanton's position as the hub of the Gulf Savannah provides access to the broader Gulf Aboriginal community network, with services connecting to Mornington Island, Burketown, and Doomadgee.
