Who We Are - Cairns NAIDOC
The Cairns NAIDOC Committee
The Cairns NAIDOC Committee, composed of passionate volunteers, is at the forefront of organising a dynamic and engaging weeklong NAIDOC celebration. Our committee, driven by a passion for promoting the rich culture, heritage, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the Cairns region, is dedicated to creating unity and understanding, advocating for social justice, and ensuring that the vibrant Indigenous cultures of the region are both honoured and cherished.
We recognise and thank all volunteers, whose contributions over the years have accredited to the ongoing success of Cairns NAIDOC Week. Due to their work, we are able to grow our celebrations every year.

About the committee
The Cairns NAIDOC Committee is made up of 100% volunteers — mob and community who give their time, knowledge, and heart without pay, because standing for culture is non-negotiable.
We proudly secure government funding, corporate sponsorships, and generate ticket sales to cover the costs of delivering NAIDOC events.
But the Committee itself remains fully volunteer-run.
Every meeting, every late-night email, every big decision — it’s all carried by the hands of people committed to seeing our culture thrive.
