Cultural Services
PIEEC can arrange cultural training for corporations and NFPs. Please email or call to discuss how we can assist.
Overview
PIEEC works alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents, carers and community members to support strong families and proud jarjums.
Through collaboration with local services, schools and support networks, we help create pathways that strengthen education, opportunity and wellbeing for our community.
Our work is grounded in cultural strength, advocacy and partnership. By walking alongside families and connecting with the wider service system, PIEEC helps build sustainable, community-led solutions that empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to shape their own futures.
Our Story

Community-Led Membership
PIEEC is a community-led organisation made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents, carers, kinship families, Elders and supportive community members.
Through this collective leadership, PIEEC acts as an important bridge between community and government stakeholders, including Education Queensland and the Federal Department of Education, Skills and Employment.
PIEEC also contributes community insight and lived experience to inform policy conversations and strategic initiatives across local, state and federal levels.
Local Partnerships
PIEEC works in partnership with families, community members and service providers to strengthen support networks across the Pumicestone region. We actively connect families with local services and organisations that can provide additional support, ensuring families have access to the resources, opportunities and advocacy they need.
Our Region
The Pumicestone electorate sits within the Moreton Bay region and spans both coastal and mainland communities. To the east, it includes Bribie Island, separated from the mainland by the Pumicestone Passage. The western mainland communities include Sandstone Point, Ningi, Beachmere and parts of Caboolture north of the D’Aguilar Highway.
This diverse region covers approximately 337 square kilometres and is home to a growing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
