As the NACCHO-ENGAGE Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) Forum enters its final day in Darwin and wraps up this afternoon, Gurriny Yealamucka is proud to have four of our own contributing to important conversations about improving health outcomes in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Joining health leaders, researchers, public health practitioners and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations from across Australia has been our very own Dr Oscar, Renee Grosso, Thelessa and Patrick. 👏🏽

Over the past two days, participants have come together to share knowledge, experiences and practical solutions to address neglected tropical diseases that continue to impact some remote communities, including trachoma, scabies, head lice and intestinal worms.

The forum has provided an opportunity to hear directly from ACCHOs about what is working on the ground, identify gaps and priorities, strengthen partnerships and explore ways to better integrate environmental health and public health responses. 🤝

Most importantly, these discussions ensure community voices remain at the centre of future research, programs and resources designed to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 🌏

We are very proud to see Dr Oscar, Renee, Thelessa and Patrick representing Gurriny Yealamucka and Yarrabah, bringing local knowledge, community experience and valuable insights to a national audience. 💙

With Men’s Health Week just around the corner, Uncle Darren has been hard at work preparing the garden beds behind Noble Drive as part of the Gurriny Yealamucka Men’s Group Healthy Food Garden. 👨🏾‍🌾🌿

Over recent weeks, Uncle Darren has been cleaning, restoring and preparing the garden beds to bring the community vegetable garden back to life. The first zucchinis have already been planted and are beginning to shoot.

The Healthy Food Garden is about much more than growing fresh produce. Spending time in the garden provides a regular routine, a sense of purpose and an opportunity for Yarrabah men to get outdoors, stay active and connect with others in a positive and supportive environment. 🤝🌱

It’s just one of the many activities available through the weekly Tuesday Men’s Group, where participants can come together, share experiences, learn new skills and support their social and emotional wellbeing. 💙

A big thank you to Uncle Darren and Ross for the care, effort and pride they continue to put into this important space. We look forward to seeing the garden flourish in the months ahead. 🌿🙌

Interested in joining the Men’s Group? Come along on Tuesdays to Noble Drive and see what activities are happening each week.

This proud mum is Shastney Noble, who brought her beautiful daughter Makayia into Gurriny Yealamucka today for her first immunisations. 👶✨

Born in March, little Makayia is now 2½ months old and growing stronger every day. 🌸

Every new baby is a precious blessing for family, community and future generations.

At Gurriny Yealamucka, we are proud to walk alongside local families from the very beginning, supporting mums, bubs and families with care that is culturally safe, community-led and grounded in respect. 💙

Moments like these are an important part of helping our little ones get the best possible start in life. 🌱

We also want to remind families that our team is always here for a yarn about immunisations. There is no pressure, no judgement and no question too small. Our staff are happy to talk through your child's individual needs, answer questions and help you make informed decisions in a safe and supportive environment. 🤝

Whether you're expecting a baby, have a newborn or simply want more information, you're always welcome at Gurriny Yealamucka. 💙

Please join us in wishing Baby Makayia a future filled with love, strength, happiness and good health as she continues to grow and thrive. 🌟👣

Did you know that loud snoring, waking up tired or feeling sleepy throughout the day could be signs of a common but often overlooked health condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)? 💤🫁

Today, Gurriny Yealamucka Health Services partnered with researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast to host important yarning sessions with Yarrabah ladies about sleep health and wellbeing at our Workshop St clinic. 🤝🏾🌿

The sessions explored how OSA can affect daily life, physical health and emotional wellbeing, while also providing a safe space for local ladies to share their experiences of receiving sleep-related care and discuss how services can be improved to better meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Some common signs of OSA include:
😴 Loud snoring.
😮‍💨 Pauses in breathing while sleeping.
😮 Waking up gasping or choking.
💧 Waking with a dry mouth.
🥱 Excessive daytime sleepiness.

Community members also had the opportunity to contribute valuable insights that will help guide the development of more culturally responsive sleep health services into the future. 💙✨

With just over a week to go until the "Express Yourself" Fun Run, anticipation continues to build ahead of the launch of Yarrabah's most innovative and youth-focused health initiatives — the Gurriny Yealamucka Youth Health Festival and Youth Prevention Campaign (YPC) 2026. 🔥🙌🏽

While the Fun Run next Thursday, June 18 promises plenty of colour, creativity and community spirit, it's also the starting point for something much bigger.

Launching on June 22, the six-week Youth Health Festival will transform the Bukki Road Clinic into a vibrant youth hub, encouraging Yarrabah young people aged 15–30 to complete health checks, connect with support services and, importantly, return for their results. 🩺✨

From organising teams and planning outfits to encouraging mates to sign up, local youth are already helping drive the campaign and shaping what promises to be an unforgettable six weeks.

"We're seeing young people take ownership of the event and inspire others to get involved," Public Health Team Leader and Event Co-ordinator Renee Grosso said.

"The Fun Run creates excitement and connection, and from there we can open the door to conversations about health in ways that feel welcoming, relevant and youth-led."

🌈 Express yourself.
👟 Gather your team.
🤝 Bring your mates.
💙 Get your health check.
✅ Come back for your results.

The countdown is on, and Yarrabah's next generation is leading the way towards healthier futures.
