Aged Persons Home

Aged Persons Home in Marble Bar provides residential care for elderly residents of Marble Bar, the small Pilbara town 195 km south of Port Hedland that holds the distinction of being the hottest town in Australia, having recorded temperatures above 37.8°C for 160 consecutive days in 1923–24. Marble Bar is an iconic outback community on Comet Creek, set among the remarkable coloured jasper bars and red ochre landscape of the Pilbara, with a history tied to gold mining and the pastoral industry. The facility provides essential aged care services in one of Australia's most remote and climatically extreme communities, enabling elderly residents to remain in the Pilbara landscape they have known all their lives.
