Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their darkest moments alone. Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. We are available 24 hours a day to listen, without judgement to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
Lifeline’s 13 11 14 crisis support service is available 24/7. Anyone in Australia can speak to a trained Crisis Supporter over the phone, any time of the day or night.

The platform is tailored to meet the needs of our sport and active recreation communities. The North Queensland Club Hub initiative supports community sports club capacity development by offering a wide range of easy to access resources.
Exercise Right
Exercise Right is a public awareness campaign created by Exercise & Sports Science Australia. We aim to inspire all Australians to be healthier and more active. We want everyone, especially those living with chronic conditions, illness, and injury, to know how to “exercise right” for their specific needs. To do that, we get expert advice from the most qualified exercise professionals in Australia.
NQ Games
The NQ Games is the largest multi-sport competition in regional Australia. Grassroots sports and events like the North Queensland Games offer a unique and important pathway for local athletes, providing a foundation for our local kids to see themselves becoming our nation’s future Olympians and sporting heroes.
