Frontier Services

Frontier Services is a national charity dedicated to supporting people in rural and remote Australia. We provide practical, pastoral, and social support to people and communities facing the unique challenges of living in isolated areas. With a strong legacy spanning more than a century, we remain committed to standing with those who live and work in some of the most remote parts of the country.

Our Mission

At Frontier Services, we believe that distance should not determine the level of support and care a person receives. We walk alongside those in rural and remote communities, offering assistance that fosters resilience, well-being, and community connection.

What We Do

Bush Chaplaincy – Our Bush Chaplains provide pastoral care, a listening ear, and a compassionate presence to people in remote areas. These dedicated people travel vast distances to visit individuals and families, offering emotional, spiritual, and practical support. Whether it’s lending a hand during tough times, offering encouragement, or simply sharing a cuppa and a chat, our Bush Chaplains are a vital connection for those who may otherwise feel alone.

Volunteer Assistance – Through our Outback Links program, skilled volunteers lend a helping hand to people needing extra support. Whether it’s fixing fences, repairing equipment, assisting with farm work, or minding a property, our volunteers step in to ease the burden and offer relief in times of crisis, natural disasters, or personal hardship.

Emergency and Disaster Relief – Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, and bushfires significantly impact remote communities over a period of years. Frontier Services responds with long-term assistance to help people recover, rebuild, and regain stability after these devastating events. Our work ensures that those in the bush are not forgotten in times of need.

Why Our Work Matters

Life in remote Australia comes with unique challenges, from geographic isolation and limited access to services to the impacts of extreme weather and financial hardship. Many people experience loneliness and stress, often with few avenues for support. Frontier Services is committed to bridging this gap, providing connection, practical help, and hope to those who need it most.

How You Can Help

Frontier Services relies on donations, volunteers, and partnerships to continue our vital work. Whether by contributing financially, volunteering time and skills, or spreading awareness, supporters play a crucial role in ensuring that people in remote communities receive the care and assistance they deserve.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, Frontier Services remains dedicated to standing with rural and remote Australians, adapting to their evolving needs, and advocating for stronger support networks in the bush. Our commitment to service, resilience, and compassion continues to drive our work, ensuring that no one in remote Australia feels left behind.
