This goodenia grows on elevated sandy islets in salt lakes near Lake King in the south-west of Western Australia.
Goodenia integerrimais classified as "Threatened Flora (Declared Rare Flora — Extant)" by the Department of Environment and Conservation (Western Australia) and an Interim Recovery Plan has been prepared.
