Karumah provides services to People Living With HIV (PLHIV) and their supporters in the Hunter-New England region. We are a not-for-profit organisation and are based in Newcastle, NSW.
HIV affects people from all walks of life and access to Karumah services is not limited to any particular demographic, lived experience, or background.
Karumah is the only organisation that works specifically with and for PLHIV in the Hunter-New England region.
Our service users are actively involved in the design and delivery of all we do and community members are at the core of Karumah’s governance structure.
Our programs are built around the Chronic Care Management Model. Chronic care management empowers people to take an active role in decisions around their health, goals, and other lifestyle choices.
We use a non-judgmental, evidence-based approach that allows us to adapt and respond to the evolving needs of People Living with HIV.
Our range of services includes outreach, chronic case management, community and social support, peer leadership, advocacy, education and training.
