Find Local & Visiting Services in Barkly Region

The Barkly 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 Barkly, many specialised health, legal and social services are provided by visiting specialists or regional organisations, complemented by programs run locally by community groups.

Barkly Region

Spanning vast savannah grasslands between Tennant Creek and the Queensland border, the Barkly region is known for its cattle stations, red granite outcrops and strong Aboriginal culture. The Devils Marbles (Karlu Karlu) near Wauchope are a geological wonder, and Tennant Creek’s Battery Hill Mining Centre recounts a gold‑rush era. The Barkly Highway offers long, lonely horizons broken by termite mounds. Locals share stories at the Nyinkka Nyunyu Art and Culture Centre and enjoy cooling off at the shady waterholes around the Tennant Creek Telegraph Station.
