Nunkuwarrin Yunti is the foremost community controlled centre in Adelaide, providing health care and community support services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

At Nunkuwarrin Yunti, Registrars experience multifaceted training designed to develop the knowledge and skills required to work successfully in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. A holistic approach consistent with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander view of health is a key feature. Registrars are mentored by and become part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health team. They learn from a diverse range of team members including Aboriginal Health workers, nurses, GPs and visiting specialists, but also gain valuable insights through exposure to programs specific to Indigenous health services such as Link Up, focussing on Stolen Generation issues, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander counselling services.
