Find Local & Visiting Services in Central Desert Region

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

Central Desert Region

Covering a massive slice of central Australia, the Central Desert region encompasses remote Aboriginal communities, desert landscapes and parts of the Tanami. Accessed mostly by unsealed roads, towns like Yuendumu and Lajamanu are centres of Warlpiri culture and art. Visitors require permits and travel prepared for isolation, but are rewarded with night skies that seem endless and unique Indigenous art. Locals gather under shade trees to watch football and hold bush picnics near seasonal waterholes that bloom with life after rain.
