Weipa Community Care Association

Weipa Community Care Association in Rocky Point, Weipa provides community care and support services to older residents and people with disabilities in the remote mining and bauxite town of Weipa on Queensland's Cape York Peninsula. The association delivers personal care, domestic assistance, transport, social support, and community services to Weipa residents under Commonwealth Home Support Programme funding, enabling people to remain living in this isolated community rather than relocating to Cairns for care. Weipa Community Care Association plays a uniquely important role given Weipa's significant distance from mainstream services and its distinctive fly-in fly-out and permanent residential population.
