Local places we can support you to visit
Places in and around Pooraka we can support you to visit:
- Pooraka Farm Community Centre on Henderson Avenue, easy to spot with its barn roof and windmill. It has run programs and activities in the Montague Farm estate since 1993.
- The shopping precinct opposite the community centre, for everyday errands.
- The council libraries at Mawson Lakes and Ingle Farm, both a short drive away.
- Modbury Hospital, the public hospital about 7 km away by road.
Pooraka Farm Community Centre is one of seven community centres and hubs run by the City of Salisbury. They host activities, programs and events, and offer information and access to services, so it is a good place to find groups near home.
At Modbury Hospital, SA Health lists specialist and outpatient clinics and the SA Intellectual Disability Health Service among its services, and there is free short-term drop-off at the entrance.
These visits are part of your support. They do not mean Kindora Connect works with these places.
