The Aboriginal population in South Australia is distributed across two primary areas:
- Adelaide vicinity: Roughly half of the Aboriginal community resides in the area surrounding the state's capital, Adelaide.1
- Remote northwest: Much of the remaining population lives in the remote northwest region of the state, where title rights to traditional lands were first granted in 1981.1
Access to essential services, including quality health care, secure employment, and adequate education, remains a significant challenge for these communities.1
