From a gap in care to a community cornerstone – this is how Outback Care came to be.
In 2023, Broome had a problem hiding in plain sight. A growing township with no locally run private podiatry service. People were travelling hours or going without – and for a town built on red dirt and long distances, that gap meant real consequences for real feet.
Boab Health Services, a long-established pillar of Kimberley healthcare, saw the need and acted. In early 2024, Outback Care Podiatry opened its doors – a private arm of Boab Health dedicated to making comprehensive foot care accessible to the broader Broome community.
But the need didn’t stop at podiatry. As we listened to the community, the picture got bigger: workplace wellbeing, employee assistance, sleep health – services that people in the cities take for granted but that regional communities have to fight for. So we grew.
Today, Outback Care delivers podiatry, wellbeing programs, EAP services, and sleep support – all under one roof in Broome. We’re still backed by Boab Health’s decades of experience, still grounded in the Kimberley, and still driven by the same belief that started it all: where you live shouldn’t decide the care you get.
We bring city-standard care with Kimberley heart – evidence-based, welcoming, and always evolving.
compassion
We've built an environment where everyone feels comfortable walking through the door - whether you're a long-time local, a fly-in worker, or visiting for the first time. Professional doesn't have to mean impersonal.
Adaptability
Our team is committed to ongoing professional development, and our services expand as the community's needs evolve. From podiatry to sleep support, we grow because you need us to.
Respect
We believe everyone - no matter where they live, where they come from, or what brings them through our door - deserves care delivered with dignity. That's not a policy. It's how we work.
excellence
Every treatment and program we offer is grounded in proven clinical methods. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just care you can trust, delivered by qualified professionals who stay current with best practice.
— Outback Care values commitment
Good care isn’t accidental — it’s planned. Our strategic framework maps where we’re headed as an organisation: the services we’re building, the standards we’re holding, and the community outcomes we’re working toward.
This isn’t a document that sits in a drawer. It guides every decision we make about what Outback Care becomes next — and we share it here because transparency matters as much as intention.
Whether you need care for yourself or wellbeing support for your team — we’re here.
