Our Keynote speaker -Sponsored by Centacare FNQ

This luncheon takes a global–national–local approach to understanding how demographic change is reshaping the Far North Queensland economy. It begins with global population and labour trends, before narrowing to Australia’s national workforce outlook and then FNQ’s specific economic context. The session explores how population growth, ageing, migration and workforce shortages intersect with FNQ’s key industries — including tourism, hospitality, agriculture and maritime services. A strong focus is placed on why migrant communities are now central to sustaining regional economies, and what these demographic realities mean for businesses, industry leaders and long-term economic planning in FNQ.
