Embedding Culture, Improving Wellbeing

By Men, For Our Men

Kunjur First Nations Men's Collective delivers a yarn of programs across Cairns and the surrounding region — a place for men to talk, to be heard, and to support each other around the fire.

Why Kunjur exists

The heartache of losing a strong brother inspired founder and facilitator Bernard Sabadi to establish the Kunjur First Nations Men's Collective. It came from the questions we all ask in those moments — "What could I have done? What could I have said?" — and the realisation that our region didn't have a place for men to come together.

A place for men to talk, to be heard, and to support each other.
