This app helps bring the Kaurna language to life with 30 interactive signs featuring Kaurna interpretations and translations.

Point your phone at one of the signs in the hospital and hear the Kaurna language translation.

The Women's and Children's Hospital is located on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people. Having language spoken over country is a powerful way of acknowledging the connection Aboriginal people continue to have with the land.

Acknowledgement statement and disclaimer added:

Throughout the Women’s and Children’s Hospital the dual naming signage uses the language of the Kaurna people as traditional custodians of Adelaide and the Adelaide plains. The Women’s and Children’s Health Network acknowledges that certain words or phrases may have different meaning for other language groups and cultures.

Aboriginal people should be aware that in some cases, some words may cause offense.
