Proud Partners of the Cairns NAIDOC Committee

At Deadly Inspiring Youth Doing Good (DIYDG), we are proud to support the Cairns NAIDOC Committee in celebrating, honouring, and uplifting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. As a supporting organisation, our role is to provide financial and risk management, ensuring the sustainability and success of NAIDOC events in our region. We stand behind the self-determination of the committee, ensuring that First Nations voices lead the way in organising, planning, and delivering impactful celebrations that reflect community aspirations.

Our commitment is not about control but about enabling and safeguarding—so that the community can focus on what truly matters: celebrating our culture, honouring our people, and strengthening our future. We believe in the power of young people to carry this legacy forward, and we hope to see the Cairns NAIDOC Committee continue to grow, evolve, and thrive as a community-led force, shaping a future where our stories, traditions, and achievements are always at the forefront.

We are especially committed to ensuring that young people have the opportunity to actively contribute, learn, and give back to their community through NAIDOC. By fostering leadership, participation, and cultural pride, we encourage the next generation to step up, take part in decision-making, and play an active role in creating and sustaining NAIDOC celebrations. Through volunteering, event coordination, and community engagement, we aim to inspire young leaders to carry forward the spirit of NAIDOC and strengthen their connection to culture, country, and community.
