About Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Community Directory
The Cherbourg Community Directory is a dedicated resource for the Aboriginal community of Cherbourg in south‑east Queensland. Founded as Barambah mission in the early 20th century, Cherbourg is now a self‑governed shire with strong cultural traditions and community programs. The directory brings together contact information for health clinics, family services, cultural centres, schools, employment agencies, sporting clubs and community groups, empowering residents to access support and celebrate the community’s heritage and resilience.

Health, emergency and welfare services in the Cherbourg area include small health clinics, visiting doctors and specialists, crisis and counselling hotlines, accommodation support and welfare assistance programmes. The directory also lists community clubs and interest groups, arts and creative projects, sports and recreation clubs, youth programmes, cultural and migrant services, environmental groups and religious or philosophical organisations, alongside education, training and employment services. Because this shire is remote, many specialist services such as allied health care, legal assistance and disability or youth support are delivered by visiting providers or regional outreach, while local community organisations and volunteers offer daily support and cultural activities.
Cherbourg Region
This small Aboriginal shire in the South Burnett is home to the Cherbourg community, founded as a mission in the early twentieth century and now celebrated for its cultural resilience. While the population is small, the region’s stories are huge, told through murals, music and shared meals. Visitors who look beyond the main road find the Ration Shed Museum, where elders share oral histories, and a local gallery filled with paintings and fibre art that speak of connection to land and tradition.
Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council has an approximate area of 32 km².
