Our Community
We are guided by the diverse lived experience of community members from Cairns southern suburbs, along with their insights, hopes and dreams for their families, neighbourhoods and the broader community
Nothing about us, Without us
Cairns South Together is a community-led, place-based initiative that believes in the power of collective impact.
This is reflected in our motto and reminds us we have an opportunity and responsibility to all work together to shape solutions for the future of our children and young people.
Together
We aim to address current social challenges by rewriting a positive cycle in two key life stages simultaneously so that:
Children are developing well in their first 1,000 days and launch into early learning
Young people have the foundations needed as they start adolescence and launch into a thriving future
Introducing Cairns South
