About Cairns Regional Community Directory

The Cairns Community Directory covers the tropical city of Cairns and its surrounding suburbs at the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics rainforest. This cosmopolitan regional centre hosts over 170,000 residents and millions of visitors annually, and the directory consolidates information on health services, multicultural and Indigenous organisations, disability support, arts groups, sporting clubs, youth programs and environmental initiatives. Whether you live in Cairns or are passing through, the directory helps you find community services and events across the city’s bustling waterfront, suburbs and hinterland.

Find Local & Visiting Services in Cairns Regional

The Cairns community directory offers an extensive range of locally provided health services—including hospitals, specialist clinics, mental health and counselling—alongside accommodation and crisis support, disability and ageing services, welfare and legal assistance programmes. It also lists hundreds of community clubs and interest groups, arts and cultural organisations, sports and recreation clubs, volunteering opportunities, education and training providers, child and youth services, environmental groups and religious or philosophical communities. As a metropolitan area, most services are provided locally and readily accessible, with minimal reliance on visiting providers, ensuring residents have comprehensive access to health, community, cultural and recreational programmes within the local government area.

Cairns Regional Profile

Cairns sits between rainforest‑clad mountains and the Coral Sea, acting as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Far North Queensland. Tourism dominates the vibrant city, yet the surrounding region also produces sugar, tropical fruit and supports thriving Indigenous communities. Away from the esplanade and reef trips, locals escape the heat at the freshwater pools of Crystal Cascades and spend weekend mornings browsing the multicultural Rusty’s Markets for tropical produce and freshly roasted coffee.

Cairns Council has an approximate area of 6,500 km².

It is comprised of the state electorates of Cairns and Mulgrave plus parts of Barron River and Hill.
