Each Australian South Sea Islander organisation, including Mackay and District Australian South Sea Islander Association (MADASSIA), has grown out of community interest and commitment. Many of them are interconnected although Islanders themselves acknowledge that some groups don't always see 'eye to eye'.
The following is a list of key Islander groups who were involved in the consultation process over the Queensland Government's Recognition Statement and Action Plan. These groups remain the primary contacts for government departments and agencies.
