Overview

Cossack sits on the southern edge of Katherine in the Northern Territory and was officially named as a suburb in April 2007, honoring the white émigré farmers who first settled the area. The locality is dominated by rural land holdings, interspersed with smaller farms and residential dwellings, offering a semi‑rural lifestyle that blends open space with the convenience of town proximity. A modest industrial zone and a power station sit alongside the Stuart Highway, providing local employment and easy road access for commuters and freight.

At the 2021 Australian census Cossack recorded 1,293 residents, a slight rise from 2016, with a median age of 39 years. The community is almost evenly split between males (51.1 %) and females (48.9 %), and households average 2.8 people, reflecting a balanced mix of families and individuals drawn to the suburb’s blend of rural charm and essential amenities.
