🏆 We’re honoured to share that Ngak Min Health has received the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Award at the 2025 Open Minds Queensland Mental Health Awards!

Our Chairperson, Audrey Deemal, proudly accepted the award on behalf of our team.

This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering culturally grounded, inclusive and holistic mental health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Cape York.

We're proud to walk alongside Djarragun College – strengthening wellbeing through connection, care and culture.

Thank you to Open Minds Australia for this acknowledgement.

📍 On Gimuy Country, Ngak Min Health and Djarragun College stood together at the 2025 Closing the Gap on Indigenous Health Forum.

From the early days of supporting Djarragun students to becoming a national example of school-based healthcare, Ngak Min continues to prove what’s possible when education and health walk side by side.

At the forum, our leaders shared the data, stories and cultural strength behind our success and why community-led models like ours need long-term support to thrive.

🌿 At Ngak Min Health, we see every day that cultural identity is health. Our work with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students shows that when care is culturally safe, respectful and grounded in community – it changes lives.

From reducing paediatric waitlists from three years to three months, to providing daily SEWB support at Djarragun College – Ngak Min is closing the gap with care that listens, supports and empowers. 💚

This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate the courage of our youth, the wisdom of our Elders and the strength of a community walking together.

Because the next generation is already leading and we’re right beside them. ✨

At Ngak Min Health, we know that healing goes beyond physical wellbeing – it’s also about cultural connection, truth-telling and walking together with respect. 💛🖤❤️

This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, Bridging Now to Next, reminds us that reconciliation is ongoing. It’s shaped by the strength of those who came before us, the relationships we nurture today and the future we’re building for the next generation.

Like the native plants in this year’s theme artwork – which grow stronger after fire – our communities hold deep strength, resilience and the ability to renew.

As we reflect, we also recommit – to care, to listen and to walk forward together.
