For community
Community snapshot
Our community comprises of around 464,692 people, or 26.8% of South Australia’s overall population.
Covering the growing population of the central Adelaide metropolitan region, we are the largest and most densely populated local health network, with around 1,730 people per square kilometre.
We also have an extremely diverse community in terms of their personal circumstance.
A snapshot of our consumers can be seen here.
Many CALHN consumers also come from outside our geographical boundaries, such as people from rural, remote, interstate and overseas locations.
Central Adelaide’s community also includes groups of people who share a common interest (such as cultural, social, political, health, and economic interests) but who do not necessarily share a particular geographic association.
We know that different types of communities are likely to have different approaches to participation, and different needs within the health system.
Community connectors
Community connector meetings bring together community organisations that represent the diverse communities that CALHN serves.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the First Nations Kaurna people upon whose ancestral land the Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN) provides services.
We acknowledge the relationship and deep feelings of attachment between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and Country, and we acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of the many lands from which our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consumers travel to receive services.
