What do we do?

Positive Life SA is committed to providing high quality evidence based services for people living with HIV and works to reduce transmission of HIV and to add value to the health and quality of life of people living with HIV.

Positive Life SA provides program activities and services that promote, expand and maintain accessibility, community education, connectivity, personal education and positive health.

Over the course of our five year Strategic Direction, Positive Life SA intends to:

• ensure accessible resource, referral, advocacy and support places across South Australia for HIV+ people
• support access to online and face-to-face education, support and social health opportunities to facilitate connections and networking for HIV+ people
• develop responsive mental health and medical support opportunities, including services that meet urgent or unexpected needs
• implement solution-focussed personal education, skills development and capacity building activities
• develop a comprehensive HIV community education and training package for related mainstream groups
• implement a “Poz Health” workforce development program for related mainstream groups working with people living with HIV

Positive Life SA is committed to meaningful, relevant and strategic engagement with people living with HIV and will engage with ‘communities of interest’ to build capacity, promote information exchange, increase our organisational expertise, and  value-add to members of those communities of interest.

Furthermore, we are committed to collaborative and coordinated approaches to service provision and strive to work across the HIV sector in a manner that supports cooperation between organisations, encourages innovation, and maximises HIV+ people's positive experience of (our) services.
