Hi Liz,
I am in S.A. so don't know what is available in your region. You could call Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 and the people answering your call may be able to point you in the right direction.
Another option would be to look in your local telephone book. Under Health or Mental Health there may be some groups or organisations you could call.
You could call your local council as well, they might know of organisations that could help.
Have you tried Google for Mental Health in the Cairns area?
Can the person who diagnosed you provide some advice on where to find assistance?
The community here at Beyond Blue is very supportive and caring.
You might benefit from reading some of the material here on this site under Get Support and Facts.
Hope you manage to find something!
Cheers for now from Mrs. Dools
