Our Team

Rain is a qualified Youth Worker whose life’s work is grounded in compassion and unwavering belief in young people.

Eighteen months ago, Rain opened Nimbin Youth, a grassroots youth centre created in response to a real and growing need in her small rural community. What began as an act of courage and conviction has grown into a thriving youth space that now welcomes more than 60 young people each week.

Nimbin Youth is more than a drop-in centre. It is a safe place for young people to eat, access support and just chill. Rain leads the service with a trauma-informed, relational and strengths-based approach – offering crisis response, advocacy, mentoring, practical support and opportunities for skill-building.

Alongside running the centre, Rain brings her creative and entrepreneurial spirit to her work. Through multimedia, storytelling and community collaboration, she amplifies young voices and creates platforms for self-expression and skill development. She believes that when young people are seen and heard, they rise.

With courage, creativity and a lot of heart, Rain has created a community where young people aren’t just supported – they’re genuinely celebrated.

She loves each young person who comes through the doors. Every one of them has a story. Every one of them wants to be seen and heard. She can do that.

She believes in them. She learns from them every single day. And even though her time walking alongside them is often fleeting, she feels incredibly blessed to share that part of their journey.

Wick’s artistic journey speaks to his dedication, entrepreneurial drive and deep creativity. For more than 27 years, he has worked across graphic arts and body painting, constantly refining his craft and exploring new ways to express ideas through colour, form and detail. He’s known for transforming the human body into living canvases  and for approaching design with both imagination and precision.

Alongside his creative work, Wick is also a web developer. He builds digital systems, platforms and infrastructure with the same care he brings to his art.

Together, Rain and Wick run The Aether Agency, the business that allows them to fund the work they care most about. Through creative and digital projects, they generate income that supports Nimbin Youth and other community initiatives. Profits from Remote Village are reinvested back into helping others — not as a marketing line, but as a lived value.

Behind the scenes at Nimbin Youth, Wick is the steady backbone. While Rain holds the space with young people, Wick ensures everything else keeps running — managing the website, IT systems and technical infrastructure that allow the organisation to function smoothly. He supports in the space when needed, but much of what works at Nimbin Youth happens quietly because Wick makes sure it does.

His creativity isn’t just artistic — it’s structural. He builds the foundations that allow others to do their work well.
