We're delighted to let you know that the Carer Gala Dinner is back this year, and we're coming to Cairns for the first time. We hope you can join us. You're invited to submit an Expression of Interest to attend this year's event at the Shangri La Hotel Cairns. Let's celebrate this National Carers Week with a two-course dinner and entertainment. It promises to be a special night of dancing and great company!
