Service areas

Working across Far North Queensland

From Cairns to the Tablelands, the Cassowary Coast, Cape York and Torres Strait communities — with respect for the distinct culture and protocols of each place.

Coverage

Where we work, and how

Remote and very remote service delivery depends on travel, accommodation, cultural permissions, community agreement and safe staffing. We confirm these before committing.

Availability

“Service availability in remote and very remote communities is subject to community agreement, cultural protocols, safe staffing and funding arrangements.” We do not claim a physical presence in a community unless one has been established.
