Outback Stores Pty Ltd

About

Outback Stores Pty Ltd operates retail stores in remote Indigenous communities across Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland. The organisation's mission is to improve the health, employment, and economy of remote Indigenous communities by enhancing food affordability, availability, and nutrition. They serve as a key delivery partner for government food security initiatives and employ predominantly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander team members.

Giving Philosophy

Outback Stores approaches its mission through direct service delivery rather than traditional grantmaking—operating community stores that provide fresh, affordable food to some of Australia's most remote locations. They prioritise community employment, health outcomes, and food security, working in partnership with government programs like the Low-Cost Essentials Subsidy Scheme.

Tips for Applicants

As this is primarily a retail/social enterprise rather than a traditional grantmaker, opportunities to engage would typically involve community partnerships, supplier relationships, or collaborative health/nutrition programs rather than direct grant applications. Focus on demonstrating alignment with their remote community food security and Indigenous employment priorities.
