The Derby Aboriginal Short Stay Accommodation service is a purpose-built facility enabling Aboriginal people from remote communities to access short-stay accommodation for up to four weeks at a time.

Priority access will be given to Aboriginal people visiting from surrounding communities who need access to services such as:

– Employment
