You can swim fairly safely outside of Summer/Autumn though advisable to still wear a stinger suit to minimise the risk. And salties are pretty rare even as far north as Cairns.
I spent a few fantastic days snorkling off the beach at Fitzroy Island one December and turns out I should have been more concerned about sharks after a marine researcher was bitten recently at the spot I was casually swimming around.
