💙 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗶!

There are few moments more special than welcoming a new little life into our community. Today, we're delighted to introduce baby Elikai Creek, the proud son of mum Shakeish Illin, who celebrates six weeks of age today after arriving on May 27, 2026. 🌿🍼

At Gurriny Yealamucka, we're honoured to walk alongside local families from the very beginning - supporting mums, bubs and families every step of the way with care that is community-led, culturally safe and centred on respect. ❤️

Every healthy start is something worth celebrating, and we're committed to helping our youngest community members thrive from day one. 🌟

Please join us in wishing Elikai a lifetime filled with love, laughter, strength, happiness and good health as he continues to grow surrounded by the love of his family and community. 💙

What an incredible response! 🙌 More than 220 Yarrabah young people aged 15–30 completed a health check during this year's Yarrabah Youth Health Festival / YPC 2026, and we couldn't be prouder of everyone who got involved. 👏🩺

Now, the campaign moves into its most important phase... coming back for your results. 💙

📋 Your health check is only the beginning. Returning to chat with our team means you'll:

✅ Understand your results.
✅ Ask questions.
✅ Learn more about your health.
✅ Get support if anything needs following up.
✅ Take the next step towards a healthier future.

If you've already had your health check, make sure you pop back in and see the team. We're looking forward to catching up with you! 🤝🌿

🥤 Meanwhile, our YPC team has been hard at work this morning preparing fresh fruit for tomorrow's Juice Bar at Gurriny Yealamucka's 50 Years of Deadly NAIDOC Celebration! 🍉🍍🍊🍓

If you're heading to the celebrations, be sure to:

🧃 Grab yourself a FREE fresh juice.
👋 Drop by and say g'day to the YPC team.
💙 Find out more about the Youth Health Festival.
🎉 Enjoy an amazing day celebrating community, culture and connection.

We'll see you tomorrow at the Yarrabah Leisure Centre! 🌿🎶
