On 30th September, Mawarnkarra held a special World No To***co Day event at the Ngurrin Centre, from 4pm to 8pm. The focus of the event was to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and va**ng, especially within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, whose health continues to be significantly affected.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along—with or without your families—to support the cause, enjoy a great evening, and learn more about how we can protect our health and each other from the harms of to***co and va**ng.
From the delicious food, fun activities for kids and adults, to the amazing music by Koy Smith, the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. Your presence and participation made the night truly special.
This year’s success has laid a strong foundation for even bigger and better events in the future, with improved planning and resources.
🎥 Check out the highlight video capturing the spirit of the evening:

Mawarnkarra was established in 1985 in Roebourne; and achieved incorporation under the Aboriginal Councils Associations Act (1976) on the 20th of March 1986.
The name “Mawarnkarra” comes from the Yindjibarndi language and its meaning is translated to mean “one with power to heal”. Mawarnkarra is pronounced, “MAR –WARN- GAR-DAR”. In the Ngarluma language, we say, “MAR-BARN-GAR-DAR”.
The Mawarnkarra symbol of the “Emu” or JARNGURNA represents the oil which is taken from the emu and is used for healing.
In 2005, the new clinic complex at Sholl Street in Roebourne, where we continue to run our service from today, was completed. Mawarnkarra also delivers some Health Programs from a separate property that is also located on Sholl Street in Roebourne.
In 2009, the incorporation status of the organisation was transferred from the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC) to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). The service is now registered as Mawarnkarra Health Service Limited.
Mawarnkarra is the largest primary health care provider providing direct services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living in the Roebourne area.
