One big question. One powerful gathering.
What does the next 50 years look like for Cairns First Nations young people, our families, and our community?
This forum is a space for mob aged 16 to 30 to speak up, dream big, and lead with courage. It’s not just a talkfest — it’s truth-telling, future-building, and legacy-shaping.
Together, we’ll map what justice, culture, community, and self-determination look like over the next five decades — on our terms.

As part of our commitment to celebrating NAIDOC and empowering young people, we hope to create time and space for community and families to come together to create, yarn and share this annual tradition. This is an opportunity to get involved, share stories, and contribute to our collective expression of pride and resilience.
The Cairns NAIDOC Committee acknowledges Traditional Custodians of the land upon which we gather and organise our NAIDOC events. We honour their knowledge of this Country and their stories. We pay respect to our Elders who have paved the way and advocate for our rights. Our respect extends to all families that now call Cairns home and their respective Countries.

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.
