About Torres Strait Island Regional Community Directory

The Torres Strait Island Community Directory supports the Torres Strait Island Regional Council area, which comprises 15 island communities spread across the Torres Strait. Each island, including Murray, Darnley, Yorke, Saibai and Boigu, has its own distinct culture and needs. The directory consolidates contact information for health and wellbeing services, schools, cultural programs, community centres, sporting clubs, transport services, employment and training providers and council facilities, ensuring that residents of these scattered islands can access services and stay connected.

Torres Strait Island Region

Governed by the Torres Strait Island Regional Council, this region encompasses 15 remote islands each with distinct languages and customs. Communities rely on fishing, arts and local government employment while maintaining strong cultural traditions. Residents value quiet days spent on coral cays and sandbars off Poruma (Coconut Island) where turquoise seas meet blue skies, and enjoy weaving workshops and song nights held at community markets on Warraber Island, where stories and skills pass between generations.

Council has an approximate area of 480 km².
