Floral Friday at Port Explorers!

If you've visited one of our Port Explorers centres on a Friday, you may have noticed our team wearing bright floral and Hawaiian shirts.

Every Friday, all our centres proudly take part in Floral Friday—a fun tradition that does more than brighten the day! Floral Friday is a long-standing social tradition that originated on Thursday Island (Waiben) and is widely recognised across the Torres Strait.

Floral Friday supports our commitment to creating culturally safe, welcoming environments where Torres Strait Islander children and families feel respected, included, and connected. When children see their culture reflected and valued, it helps foster a strong sense of belonging, trust, and safety—key elements of our Child Safe practices.

So, if you spot our team looking extra colourful on a Friday, you'll know there's an important reason behind the flowers!

Together, we're creating safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive environments where every child can learn, grow, and belong.

Queensland’s Reportable Conduct Scheme is now live.

At Port Explorers, creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for every child is at the heart of everything we do. We are one of an estimated 10,000 organisations participating in Queensland’s Reportable Conduct Scheme, which helps ensure concerns about child safety are appropriately reported and investigated.

We are committed to meeting the Queensland Child Safe Standards, the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, and all child protection and Blue Card requirements. Our team also participates in ongoing training to ensure we continue providing the highest standards of care and safety for children and young people.
