Find Local & Visiting Services in Mackay Regional
The Mackay community directory offers an extensive range of locally provided health services—including hospitals, specialist clinics, mental health and counselling—alongside accommodation and crisis support, disability and ageing services, welfare and legal assistance programmes. It also lists hundreds of community clubs and interest groups, arts and cultural organisations, sports and recreation clubs, volunteering opportunities, education and training providers, child and youth services, environmental groups and religious or philosophical communities. As a metropolitan area, most services are provided locally and readily accessible, with minimal reliance on visiting providers, ensuring residents have comprehensive access to health, community, cultural and recreational programmes within the local government area.
Mackay Region
Midway along Queensland’s coast, the Mackay region balances a major sugar port with tropical rainforest, pristine beaches and grazing lands. The Pioneer River runs through the city, and nearby mountains trap monsoon rains that feed waterfalls and lush valleys. Locals relish a cool dip at the free Bluewater Lagoon right in the city and love day‑tripping to Finch Hatton Gorge to hike beneath strangler figs to Araluen and Wheel of Fire falls.
Mackay Council has an approximate area of 34,000 km².
It is comprised of the state electorate of Mackay plus parts of Mirani and Whitsunday.
