The club was formed in September 1983, and the club has been dedicated to supporting local causes and service activities for the last four decades and acts as a supportive community of women who are enthusiastic about making a difference.
Members are dedicated supporters of the goals and ideals of Zonta International – advocating for women’s rights, equality education and an end to child marriage and gender-based violence.
Carol Shipway, a representative of Zonta Club of Cairns Inc., introduced herself as part of the ZONTA Club of Cairns and highlighted Zonta International's global commitment to empowering women and improving their well-being. Locally, Zonta Cairns actively empowers women and works against violence directed at them.
