The Case Coordination Working Group is a collaborative multi-agency case management process supporting chronically homeless rough sleepers to achieve independent and sustainable housing. CCWG primarily supports vulnerable people that identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders that are rough sleeping and/or experiencing chronic homelessness in the Cairns area.
