About Us
Who is the Cairns NAIDOC 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.
NAIDOC in Cairns isn’t just an event — it’s a powerful act of self-determination, truth-telling, and celebration.
It’s a movement built by community, for community — honouring our Elders, uplifting our young ones, and keeping our stories alive for generations yet to come.
When you support Cairns NAIDOC, you’re backing grassroots leadership — and investing in a future where culture, community, and courage walk hand in hand.
