About Richmond Shire Community Directory
The Richmond Community Directory supports the small communities of Richmond Shire in north‑west Queensland, centred on the grazing town of Richmond. The region is known for its cattle industry and significant dinosaur fossil discoveries at Kronosaurus Korner. The directory compiles information on health services, schools, childcare, community organisations, sporting clubs, arts groups, council facilities and emergency contacts, making it easier for locals and visitors travelling along the Flinders Highway to find services and participate in community activities.

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.
