The Port Lincoln Aboriginal Health Service (PLAHS) was founded by the local Aboriginal community in 1992 with the assistance of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and the South Australian Health Commission through the National Aboriginal Health Strategy.
The establishment of the service resulted from a number of reports and submissions put to both the Commonwealth and State Government from the mid-1980s onwards.
Throughout the website the term Aboriginal is used in this context to include people who identify as Aboriginal, people who identify as Torres Strait Islander Peoples and people who identify as both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. It is also used interchangeably with the term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
