Himalayan Community Care Services team member attend the Cairns Multicultural Festival 2026, held on 16th May 2026 at Fogarty Park.

Organised by the Cairns and Regional Multicultural Association, the festival was a vibrant celebration of the many cultures that shape our region.

It was wonderful to see the community come together to enjoy traditional music and dance, multicultural food stalls, cultural art exhibitions, and activities for all ages. The event truly reflected the spirit of unity in diversity.

We are grateful to have been part of such a positive and inclusive community event and enjoyed capturing some wonderful memories from the day

Great to be on the show with you again, Joe - really appreciate the ongoing support and the opportunity to share what we have been working on.

It was great to talk about our new ILO housing options on 323 Draper Street and what they mean for giving participants more choice and independence in their daily lives. Also really proud of the launch of the Himalayan Organisation for Multicultural Communities Inc. (HOMC) — lots of exciting work ahead to strengthen community connection through culture and shared experiences.

And the Unity Cup on July 18 at Endeavour Park is shaping up to be a fantastic day for Cairns’ 150-year celebrations — looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Also had a good laugh about DJ Jesse and the doll’s hair — Jess will be happy to know her hairdressing skills are now officially community famous 😄

Thanks again, Joe, for having us on.

Great to have Saroj and Jess from Himalayan Community Care Services back on the show this week.

Since the last time they joined us, a lot has been happening. We spoke about their new ILO housing options on Draper Street and what that means for participants looking for more choice in how they live day to day.

We also got into their newly launched organisation, Himalayan Organisation for Multicultural Communities Inc., HOMC (HOMC), which is all about building stronger connections across the wider community through culture, events and shared experiences.

And one to keep an eye on, the Unity Cup is coming up on July 18 at Endeavour Park. A full day of football, culture and community as part of Cairns’ 150 year celebrations.

Plenty of good things happening. Thanks again for coming in, and DJ Jesse made sure to thank Jess again for plaiting his doll's hair 🙌

A Dream Beyond Boundaries – Support Shalom Rai - Launcheston Tasmania.
Himalayan Community Care Services is proud to support 13-year-old Shalom Rai, a talented young footballer from Launceston, Bhutanese by heritage, who is determined to seize an incredible opportunity to travel to West Ham, United Kingdom this year in November for professional football exposure.
Born in Launceston to parents who arrived in Australia through the Humanitarian Settlement Program, Shalom has been passionate about football since the age of five. With strong support from his father, Suman Rai, he has grown into a dedicated and hardworking athlete — earning scholarship from Launceston City Academy in 2022, winning numerous local trophies, and participating in football trials in both Launceston and the Gold Coast.
This opportunity could be a life-changing step toward his dream of becoming a professional footballer. However, the journey comes with significant costs, including travel, accommodation, and training expenses.
We warmly invite our friends, community members, supporters and well-wishers to stand behind Shalom. Every contribution — big or small — will help him take this important step and show that his community believes in him.
Together, let’s support a dream built on hope, resilience, and determination.
