Our Organisation
PURPOSE
Outback Stores (OBS) was established in November 2006 and emerged from a need to improve the health of Indigenous people in remote Australia. Our purpose is to improve the health of Indigenous people in remote Australia by addressing nutrition-related health problems and unreliable food supplies.
We provide retail store management and support services on a fee for service basis to Indigenous owned community stores, working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in a holistic way to improve health, nutrition, employment, training and economic outcomes for first Australians.
The company works closely with communities to enable and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to live healthy and prosperous lives.
OBS is a Commonwealth owned company with an independent Board of Directors, operating as best as possible on commercially sustainable principles.
