This year, we proudly celebrate the 20th anniversary of Outback Links—two decades of volunteers stepping up to lend a hand, strengthen communities, and change lives in rural and remote Australia. What began as a simple idea has grown into one of the most impactful volunteer programs in the country.

For thousands of families facing hardship, Outback Links volunteers have been a beacon of hope. They have provided practical assistance, from fixing fences and maintaining farms to offering much-needed companionship to those living in isolation. In times of crisis—whether due to drought, floods, or bushfires—these volunteers have stepped up to help people rebuild.

Outback Links is more than just a volunteer program; it’s a lifeline. Many families in the bush struggle to access the same support networks available in the cities, making the role of Outback Links even more critical. Volunteers travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers each year, bringing not only their skills but also their compassion, proving that no one is ever truly alone.

This milestone is a testament to the incredible generosity of our supporters—you make this work possible. Your contributions ensure that volunteers can continue to travel where they are needed most, providing hands-on support to those doing it tough.

As we celebrate 20 years of Outback Links, we also look forward to the future. With your help, we can continue to grow this program, reaching more people in need and strengthening communities across the outback.

💛 Join us in celebrating this incredible milestone and help make the next 20 years of Outback Links even more impactful!
