The Outback Village – It Takes a Village. Be the Reason Ours Grows.

At Outback Instincts, we believe every young person deserves a village of people who believe in them, encourage them and give them a fair go.

The Outback Village brings local businesses together to make a real difference in the lives of young people across Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.

For just $100 a month (or $1,200 annually), your business can help us provide practical, hands-on animal-assisted programs that build confidence, connection, resilience and life skills for young people facing challenges.

We know small business owners don't always have spare time to volunteer or thousands of dollars to sponsor a charity. The Outback Village makes giving back simple, affordable and meaningful.

As a Village member, your business will receive recognition through our social media and website, a supporter certificate and window sticker, regular updates on the difference you're making, and an invitation to a special farm experience after 12 months of support.

Outback Village members enjoy discounted Paws & Pause Workplace Wellbeing Therapy Dog visits, with our first 30 founding members receiving their first workplace visit FREE as a special thank-you for helping us build our Village!

Because great communities are built by businesses that care about the people growing up in them.

Backing local kids, one business at a time.
