We were so proud to #Getupstandupshowup alongside our First Nations communities at the many events hosted across the Cairns, Townsville, and Mackay regions.
NQPHN CEO Robin Whyte celebrated with Centacare FNQ Executive Director Anita Veivers at Centacare FNQ's Thomas Street facility for NAIDOC breakfast celebrations.
At the NAIDOC Week Corporate Breakfast at the Ville Casino, Townsville staff were moved by the traditional dances and guest speakers Professor Gracelyn Smallwood, Uncle Hans Pearson, Gail Mabo, and Dr Peter Malouf who spoke about the NAIDOC theme and what it meant to them.
Staff joined Townsville Hospital and Health Service (HHS) and Mackay HHS in NAIDOC celebrations featuring speeches, digeridoo playing, traditional dancing, a variety of cakes and traditional foods, and singing in traditional language.
Staff at all three sites proudly and loudly marched in NAIDOC Week marches held in Cairns, Townsville, and Mackay to show their support and commitment to NAIDOC and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities health and wellbeing.
NQPHN reinforced its commitment to continue building our strong relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, to improve their health and wellbeing, healing, and closing the gap.
NQPHN committed to continuing to reflect on the learnings gained from #NAIDOC2022 and to facilitate growth as an organisation and in our personal journeys to carry the momentum for change towards reconciliation and a better future for all Australians.

Mackay region
First Nations People of the Mackay region
The five First Nations groups in the Mackay/Pioneer Valley region are:
- Yuwibara (Mackay Township area and north of Pioneer River)
- Kungalburra (Bakers Creek to Sarina area)
- Toolginburra (Eton Range area)
- Googaburra (Islands)
- Gurraburra (Mirani and Netherdale—Upper Pioneer Valley area).
Yuwi Country
Yuwi Country is home to the First Nations People known as the Yuwi people (Yuwibara). Yuwi Country is defined by its natural boundaries from Cape Palmerston in the South to the O’Connell River in the north, and the foothills of the Sarina, Clark, Eton, and Eungella Ranges to the west and east, encompassing the waterways between the north and south land boundaries.
During white settlement in the early 1860s, the immediate city area was named Port Mackay. This area, known as Yuwibara Country to traditional descendants, is now referred to as Mackay.
Apical ancestry criteria confirms Yuwi peoples' connection to country through historical family stories, kinship, and language, as well as sharing commonalities of time and place with those of the same family, kin, and group. Importantly, clan groups are identified in this area through family connections.
