Outback Futures Ltd We're a not-for-profit contributing to thriving bush communities. We're about breaking down barriers around mental health and wellbeing. This is our heart.

We give people in the bush access to allied and mental health services, and we facilitate community wellbeing initiatives. Outback Futures is a not-for-profit organisation and we're passionate about working together with our outback communities to bring about long lasting, positive changes in mental health and wellbeing. 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 wanted things to be different and better for their community. We're about helping our outback communities feel empowered to ask for and expect better access to services. We're about whole communities working together to care for themselves and others. We're about renewing hope, building resilience and strengthening communities. On the ground, what this looks like is a little different for each region, because we work together with a community to decide what works best for them. Most people will see our teams in their community for Resilience Clinics where we connect with people face-to-face. In between our community clinics, we stay in touch with our 'Stay With Me' phone/video connect service which people can access from the safety of home, school...or wherever it suits. We help our outback kids grow in confidence and capacity at school and in life; and we provide regular, consistent mental health support and care for kids, adults, families and communities. We’re working with communities in Central West and North West Queensland, and we're always open to conversations to expand our services into other remote and very remote regions. We honour and respect the First Nations people of the lands and waterways of our regions. We acknowledge their continuing connection to land, culture, traditions and stories. We honour and respect the Elders past, present and emerging, recognising their cultural heritage, knowledge and relationship to land that support our communities.

We're very excited to welcome Jess, our new Parent Peer in Tambo 👋

As a mum of four little people, Jess understands the joys and challenges of pregnancy and the early years of parenting in the bush, and the importance of having people around you who provide support, encouragement and connection.

As an Outback Futures Parent Peer, Jess is here to listen, share the everyday reality of parenting, celebrate the good stuff and walk with you through the tough stuff. Whether it be catching up one-on-one or with others over a coffee, at a playgroup, the library, a park, or on a property, we want everyone to feel connected and supported.

Want to find out what's happening for parents and soon-to-be parents in Tambo? Get in touch with Jess, she would love to connect with you and your family! Email [email protected].

Early support can make a big difference.

Our Early Years Screenings help families and educators gain a better understanding of a child's development through fun, engaging activities led by our speech pathologists and occupational therapists.

Whether it's communication, motor skills, self-regulation or school readiness, identifying concerns early can help children access support before challenges become barriers to learning and participation.
