Woorabinda was established in 1927, and the community was practically maintained and sustained through 'stockwork', that led to the formation of the Woorabinda Pastoral Company. The Woorabinda Local Government Shire consists of 5 parcels of land with a total area of approx. 39,000 hectares which are held by Council under a Deed of Grant in Trust (DOGIT).
Woorabinda has a pastoral company, a hospital, a community hall, a sports complex, a swimming pool, a general store and a primary school (1928). There are two churches and the Aboriginal Inland Mission has resident lay pastors. Police are stationed within the community and an emergency services base is located next door.
