Gurriny Yealamucka Health Services was pleased to welcome representatives from Darwin’s Flinders University to Yarrabah recently as part of the Movember Indigenous Social and Emotional Wellbeing Grants Program, which is helping strengthen Aboriginal-led approaches to men's health and wellbeing.
During their visit, the team spent time alongside our Men's Health Program, learning firsthand about the culturally safe initiatives supporting Yarrabah men through connection, yarning, prevention and early intervention.
The visit explored the positive impact of programs including the Yarrabah Men's Forum, weekly Men's Group, Men's Self Care Day, and the strong partnerships that continue to encourage men to prioritise their health and wellbeing.
The visit also provided an opportunity to share ideas, discuss future program development and strengthen the ongoing partnership between Gurriny Yealamucka, Flinders University and the Movember Foundation.
💬 Gurriny Yealamucka SEWB Manager Milton Mossman said the partnership recognised the value of community-led solutions.
"We were proud to welcome the Flinders University team to Yarrabah and share the important work our Men's Health team is delivering every day alongside community,” Milton noted.
“Our programs are built around culture, connection and trust, creating safe spaces where men can yarn, support one another and improve their overall wellbeing. Partnerships like this help us continue learning, evaluating what works and building even stronger outcomes for our men and their families."
A big thank you to Professor James Smith, Cameron Stokes and Bryce Brickley for spending time in Yarrabah and for supporting community-led approaches to First Nation’s men's health. We look forward to continuing this important partnership and the positive work ahead.

Babies are too young for many vaccines in their first weeks of life.
The people around them, parents, family, and the whole community, are their only shield.
Getting immunised is how you protect the ones who need it most.
Speak with your health worker, nurse or GP today about which vaccines your family needs.

NRL legend Greg Inglis may have achieved it all on the football field, but these days he's just as passionate about championing something even more important—mental health and encouraging people to have a yarn. 🤝
Over the past few days, Greg has been in Yarrabah, spending time with community and sharing powerful messages about looking after ourselves, checking in on each other and reminding us that it's okay to ask for help. ❤️
🎥 We were lucky enough to yarn with Greg for a special video, where he spoke directly to the Yarrabah community about:
💬 The importance of talking about mental health.
👊 His message for the men in our community about looking out for yourself and one another.
🏉 And yes... we couldn't let him leave without asking what he thought about NSW getting one over Queensland in this year's State of Origin series! 😉😂
No matter who you barrack for, Greg's message is one we can all get behind.
💙 Remember:
✅ Ask: Are you OK?
👂 Listen: Give people time to talk.
🤝 Act: Help them get the support they need.
If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out.
📞 Support is available through:
💙 Yarrabah Community Crisis Volunteers.
📞 13 YARN (13 92 76) – A free, confidential crisis support line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Together, we can continue breaking down stigma, supporting one another and reminding our mob that no one has to face life's challenges alone. ❤️
