About PICC

The Palm Island Community Company is a community-controlled not-for-profit organisation that delivers human services, community capacity building and economic development programs on Palm Island.

Through the establishment of a network of partnerships and collaborations, the ongoing recruitment and training of staff, and an uncompromising attitude towards the building of community capacity, PICC continues to make a real difference in the lives of the people it serves.

Boasting a successful history since it was established in 2007, PICC delivers innovative, community-driven programs that are squarely aimed at supporting and strengthening the social, cultural and economic fabric of the Palm Island community.

PICC continues to work hard to strengthen the infrastructure of the remote island and create local jobs for local people while delivering vital human services to community it serves.

The fundamental focus of the Company is underpinned by the belief that the residents of Palm Island are entitled to have ready access to the range of reliable and high-quality human and social services like those to which most Australians have easy access.

PICC is proud of its role in helping Palm Island to lead the way in the development of a new model of Indigenous community capacity building that has demonstrated success.
