Our Outback Communities
Outback Futures was born in the bush, based on lots of real and honest conversations with outback women and men - business owners, community leaders, mayors, teachers, workers, parents, grandparents - ordinary everyday people who want things to be different and better for their community.

We work to break down barriers around mental health and wellbeing.

We help our outback communities feel empowered to ask for and expect better access to services.

Our heart is to see whole communities working together to care for themselves and others.

We're about renewing hope, building resilience and strengthening community.

We know school isn't easy for everyone, so if it's something that makes your child feel a bit squirmy in their stomach, fidgety in their fingers, or muddled in their mind, we're here to help you and your child discover some ways to turn school days into good days.
“The first step is by far the toughest step that you'll have to take,” says Dave, an ordinary outback Aussie bloke who struggled through years of depression and anxiety.
“It’s not always going to be roses,” he says. “There’s going to be ups and downs, good days and bad days, but that first step is by far the hardest.”
