There are currently over 76 remote communities in the Northern Territory. There are also several small communities of Aboriginal people, usually fewer than 100, in permanent or semi-permanent residences. These communities are often referred to as homelands or family outstations.

To support our remote communities, there are specialist outreach services provided out of the regional and urban areas on a regular basis. Not only to provide medical services but also to provide health education.
The schedule is updated daily, for more information go to the Northern Territory Government website.
Where services cannot be provided in the community, patients and families are supported in visiting one of the regional or urban centres to receive medical care.
