We assessed the cost and availability of essential goods required to support the HLPs in eight remote Kimberley community stores, recording prices during three visits in 2022 as part of the SToP (See, Treat, Prevent) Skin Sores and Scabies Trial, and retrospectively comparing these (inflation-adjusted) with Perth and Broome prices in 2024. Owing to limited stock, data were analysed at a Cluster level (geographically proximal communities) using paired-sample t-tests in SPSS. Across 23 store visits, a standardised \u2018shopping basket\u2019 was significantly cheaper in Perth ($20.29) and Broome ($21.76) than in remote communities ($39.19\u2013$47.87;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001); whitegoods (refrigerators, washing machines) were also significantly more expensive remotely (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01).
