Cape York Institute for Policy & Leadership

The Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership was launched in July 2004 and is based in Cairns.  We are a partnership between the people of Cape York, the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments, and Griffith University. We are funded by a core grant from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and the Department of Communities, and supplement that core grant with fee-for-research and private and corporate philanthropy. 

We have a board chaired by Mr. Danny Gilbert. Click here to see the profiles of our board.

The staff at the Institute come from a range of backgrounds including community development, academia, corporate business and law.  Click here to see profiles of our core and project staff.
