🌺 Supporting Our Community, Celebrating Our Culture 🌺

At Assist Care Cairns, we’re proud to call Cairns home — a place where our vibrant Pacific Island and multicultural communities come together to create something truly special.

As a registered NDIS service provider, our mission goes beyond delivering quality care and support — it’s about giving back to the community. We’re passionate about supporting local initiatives, sponsoring cultural events, and creating opportunities that empower individuals and families across Far North Queensland.

We’re proud to be part of the Bula Kids Club, an incredible community initiative organised and created by the Mate Nai Lavo team! 🌴
A huge thank you to the amazing Mate Nai Lavo team for all the hard work you put into creating such a fun-filled, meaningful, and culturally rich day for the kids. Your dedication helps strengthen our community and keep our Pacific Island traditions alive for future generations. 💛

We are also proud to be part of the wider Australian community, embracing and appreciating the rich history, heritage, and spirit that shape life here in Far North Queensland.

🙏 Assist Care Cairns acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live — the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji People of the Yidinji Nation. We pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present, and we celebrate the stories, culture, and enduring traditions of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders who continue to care for this land today.

At Assist Care Cairns, we believe that giving back is more than a gesture — it’s a commitment to community, culture, and connection. Together, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive Cairns where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered. 💙

Nas Campanella is the first blind newsreader in the world. 🙌🏼

Nas is blind and has a neurological condition means that she can’t read braille. Impressively, she communicates the news by listening to a prompter in her ear.

You might recognise her voice from Triple J radio or from her work as the Disability Affairs Reporter for the ABC.

Chatting on an episode of ‘The Imperfects’ podcast, Nas talks about her relationship with her disability and how it shapes her identity.

She dives into some powerful conversations and shares why, if a magical operation could restore her sight, she wouldn’t change a thing.

🌴 NAIDOC WEEK 2025 – Celebrating Culture & Community 🌺

This week, we celebrate NAIDOC Week here in beautiful Cairns and Far North Queensland, standing with our local communities to honour the rich culture, history, and strength of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

At Assist Care Queensland, we are proud to work on Country and alongside families whose roots run deep through this land. We recognise the Elders who have paved the way, those who continue to guide us today, and the young voices carrying culture forward.

NAIDOC Week is a special time for reflection, connection, and celebration. It’s a time to come together as one community — to listen, learn, share stories, and show respect.

To all our First Nations clients, families and community — we see you, we celebrate you, and we walk beside you with pride and purpose.

🖤💛❤️ 💚💙



The illustrations in this design were created by Sheri Skele, also known as Bigi Nagala, a proud Bidjara woman and contemporary Aboriginal artist. Hailing from South West Queensland's Bidjara land, rich in Indigenous heritage, healing sites, pristine bushlands, lagoons, wildlife, and ancient waterways, her work beautifully captures this sacred landscape.
