Remote Laundries provides remote communities with a purpose-built, free laundry facility while also providing sustainable Indigenous employment opportunities.
The project confronts and conquers challenging community issues, including the unacceptable statistic that 8 out of 10 Aboriginal children living in remote communities will contract scabies before their 1st birthday.
Skin infections caused by itching the scabies mite lead to serious diseases like staph infections, kidney disease and rheumatic heart disease.
Access to clean bedding, towels and clothes is crucial to being healthy. Regular washing and hot drying helps to keep parasites and bacteria under control in conditions where overcrowding is common.
As strange as it might seem in Australia in 2024, working washing machines with hot water, constant power supply and good detergent can be hard to find in remote communities. Our laundries provide a solution to this need.
