About Us

Supporting the Community
for over 40 Years

Weipa Community Care Association Inc was established in 1986 to support the mining community of Weipa and its surrounding communities of Napranum and Mapoon.

Acknowledgement of Country

Our community organisation is proud to work with and serve the people of Weipa, Napranum, and Mapoon. We acknowledge that our work is done on the traditional lands of the Alngith, Thaynakwith, Tjungundji, and other language groups of the Western Cape. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and we honour the ongoing strength, resilience, and cultural contributions of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our community.

Our vision

Every member of our community has the opportunity to thrive

Our mission

We work alongside our communities to offer empowering services, nurture lasting connections, and respond as our neighbourhood evolves.

Our Theory of Change

We work in Weipa, Napranum and Mapoon to ensure community members have the opportunity to thrive by offering empowering services, nurturing lasting connections and responding as our neighbourhood evolves, because remote areas have fewer opportunities to access services, advocate for change and respond to issues such as domestic and family violence, isolation, alcohol and drug use and income inequality.
