🌿 Midawarr Day Out in Nhulunbuy 🌿

NT PHN was proud to attend the Midawarr Day Out at the Gove Peninsula Surf Life Saving Club earlier this month – our first time since the event began in 2022!

The day brought together more than 20 organisations and services, with families and community members travelling from Galiwin’ku, Gapuwiyak, Milingimbi, Ramingining and Yirrkala to enjoy music, food, activities and connection.

For NT PHN, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with local service providers, community members and celebrate the incredible work happening across East Arnhem to support social, cultural, artistic and emotional wellbeing.

A big thanks to Gove Peninsula Combined Aged and Disability Services, Anglicare NT, Carers NT, East Arnhem Regional Council and all partners for making this event possible.

🌟 Bringing passion and purpose to men’s health in Alice Springs 🌟

After a chance reunion with old friends, Jacob – a proud Noonuccal and Kombumerri man – found himself starting a new chapter in Alice Springs.

Now part of the team at Congress’ Ingkintja Men’s Health Clinic, Jacob is supporting Aboriginal men with health checks, medications, sexual health and overall wellbeing.

Jacob said that encouragement from his friends inspired him to apply for the role through Rural Workforce Agency NT. He is so glad he did as he feels valued and can see the positive change happening in community.

Jacob’s story shows the power of connection. He brings not just clinical skills, but cultural connection and genuine care to his work. That’s what makes the difference in primary healthcare.

At NT PHN, we’re proud to support a strong, culturally safe primary healthcare workforce across the NT.
