Welcome to CADCAI!

CADCAI (Cairns & District Chinese Association Inc) is a community-based organisation dedicated to promoting chinese culture.

The Association was formed in 1978 and subsequently incorporated in 1986. To this very day, CADCAI continues to support and organise a great number of activities.

Its members are drawn from diverse backgrounds, comprising Australian-born Chinese (many of whom are direct descendents of the early settlers), migrants from China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, and other places such as New Zealand, Jamaica, Pakistan and other places, as well as non-Chinese with an interest in Chinese culture and heritage.

CADCAI can often be seen at a number of local events, whether they be multicultural festivals, historical celebrations or more recently, the Chinese New Year Festival.

All information about upcoming events, activities or general details about the Association can be found on this site.
