Dee’s Deportment, Grooming and Self Care “Changes Lives and Instil Confidence with a Holistic Health Approach”.
In June 2014, Dee’s Deportment, Grooming and Self Care was established with an aim to bring individuals to the forefront and be seen in positions of influence. Our establishment became the first Indigenous owned business in the fashion and beauty sector who primarily focus on instilling confidence, building lives and utilising real life experiences to build individuals through a holistic health approach.
"Adding to our repertoire, we have a unique presence in the Cairns Region hosting annual signature events which showcases and elevates cultural dance groups, small local businesses and Indigenous fashion designers in a 5 star environment. This initiative has taken young Aboriginal Youth from busking in the streets of Cairns, to performing on the catwalk at annual 5 Star Events, for the Royal Navy (HMAS Cairns) biannual Navy Indigenous Development Program Graduations and other prestigious events".
Donna Corrie, Owner and Director of Dee's Deportment Grooming and Self Care, lives and promotes personal fitness through a range of programs designed to educate children, youths, women, families and disadvantaged groups about wellbeing and meaningful lifestyle changes. With a passion and desire to empower women of all ages, and strengthen families through a fun exercise regime, Donna provides customised workouts to suit everyone's individual needs.
Self Care starts with inner confidence and inner strength. Our programs are designed to allow an individual to develop their own self worth and inner spirit by listening to them, providing experiences and opportunities to help them feel fabulous, and supporting them every step of the way with a positive spirit.
More than just a catwalk program. Our workshops combine personal grooming with employment etiquette, social etiquette and fitness components for transitioning into career advancement opportunities, higher education or lifechanging moments. With the aim of preparing young people for life's next steps, our team collaborate with industry professionals to help a young person reach their full potential and achieve their goals. When on the catwalk, we showcase productivity, dignity, culture, inclusion, inner beauty and intellectual sophistication, which results to an individual feeling radiant and beautiful holistically. Our catwalk program promotes personal growth and development for females and males of all walks of life, emphasising on cultural respect and inclusion.
In 2017, Dee's Deportment, Grooming and Self Care introduced a 5 Star NAIDOC Gala Event which was a sell out event at the Pullman International Hotel in Cairns. I
n 2019, Dee's Deportment, Grooming and Self Care partnered with the Shangri-la Hotel The Marina to host 5 Star NAIDOC Gala Dinners.
Our annual Gala Events continue to promote and support local businesses, cultural dance groups (Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, African, Latino, Arakanese, PNG, etc), multi-culturalism, communities and disadvantaged groups. As we passionately and respectfully promote our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures on the catwalk at our annual Gala Events, people of all walks of life from across the region, state-wide and nationally come together to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, customs, tradition, dance and music in a friendly, welcoming and relaxing environment.
Our annual signature Gala Events have attracted dignitaries including Queensland State Labor Senators (2017-2022), local Cairns Regional Council Mayor, Mayoress and Councillors, Federal and State Members of Parliament, the Minister for Seniors, Disability Services and Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, HMAS Navy Commanding Officers, Department of Defence Recruiting, and other Dignitaries.
Other Gala Events delivered also include a New Year's Eve Masquerade Ball and Youth Ball.
