Our Priorities for the Future
 

The Foundation will continue to build on its strong legacy with a clear set of priorities for the future:
 

  • Improving Health Outcomes for Older South Australians: Through targeted community support programs, we aim to enhance the health and quality of life for older individuals in the northern suburbs.
