Abstract

This dataset documents food retail stores that service remote Indigenous communities in Australia. A seed list created by the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) was extended and validated, including reviews by experts and stakeholders, during 2022. Store location, contact information, management, and ownership/legal registration were identified along with the size of the community the store serves. A final dataset of 233 remote or very remote stores was created.

Methods

A seed list from the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) was extended and validated. The dataset was extended using desk research with additional reviews by experts and stakeholders, during 2022.
