Learning and Lifestyle hub @ Cairns

At Endeavour Foundation we focus on ability and making things happen. We can help you learn life skills, live independently, and get job-ready. Together, we turn your possibilities into reality.

Together, we’ll co-design your personal learning journey to make sure that it fits your needs and gets you to where you want to be.

The Cairns Learning and Lifestyle hub is situated in a large block with leafy trees and open grassy spaces. There is a garden area and two separate activity rooms. The hub includes a large kitchen to create delicious meals and learn recipes to take and try at home and a café program on Mondays.

The new sensory room provides a purpose built space for those needing a sensory space with lighting and sound sensory equipment.
