The Wentworth community directory brings together essential services like health, disability and ageing support, community clubs and halls, Aboriginal and cultural services, education and training, legal and advocacy programs, environment and conservation, and recreation.
It also includes crisis support, accommodation, transport and youth programs, plus volunteering and self‑help groups across categories such as sport, arts, communication, and welfare assistance.
Due to the remote nature of the Wentworth, many specialised health, legal and social services are provided by visiting specialists or regional organisations, complemented by programs run locally by community groups.
Wentworth Region
At the junction of the Murray and Darling rivers, Wentworth is a river town with a rich paddle‑steamer heritage and red sandhills nearby. Walk along the riverfront to historic wharves, tour the Old Wentworth Gaol and learn about the lock system. The nearby Perry Sandhills offer dune landscapes perfect for sandboarding and sunset photography. Locals sometimes join ghost tours of the gaol and take scenic drives through river red gum forests to Lake Victoria for fishing and bird‑watching.
Wentworth Council has an approximate area of 26,000 km².
It is within the state electorate of Murray.
