Community Directory - Lockhart River

About Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire Community Directory

The Lockhart River Community Directory is a vital resource for the remote Indigenous township on Cape York’s eastern coast. Once a mission settlement, Lockhart River is now self‑governed and is known for its internationally acclaimed art collective and pristine beaches. The directory provides contact details for health clinics, schools, arts and cultural centres, community programs, youth services, sporting groups and local government facilities, helping residents and visitors access support and participate in community life.

Find Local & Visiting Services in Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire

Health, emergency and welfare services in the Lockhart River 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.

Lockhart River Region

On the eastern side of Cape York, Lockhart River is a small coastal community surrounded by tropical rainforest and crystal‑clear seas. Kutini‑Payamu (Iron Range) National Park shelters rare wildlife and WWII history, and traditional owners maintain strong connections to sea and country. Residents enjoy hiking rainforest trails to secret waterfalls in the park and snorkelling over coral gardens just offshore at Quintell Beach, where turtles often cruise past.

Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire Council has an approximate area of 3,600 km².

It is within the state electorate of Cook.
