What an incredible start to Jabiru Family Circle! 🎉💛

Our very first session welcomed 11 families, 31 people in total, including families from Kakadu and surrounds, and families who have been impacted by recent flooding. Seeing so many people come through the doors and connect with one another was truly special.

Every child in attendance also received a free children's book, generously provided by the The Indigenous Literacy Foundation.📚

Jabiru Family Circle is a free weekly program running every Tuesday, 10:00am–12:00pm at Marrawuddi Arts & Culture, delivered in partnership with Playgroup NT and Families as First Teachers (FaFT). It's a space for children aged 0–5 to play, learn, and make friends, and for parents and carers to connect and support one another.

We still have 7 weeks to go and would love to see more families join us. Come along! it's free, it's welcoming, and there's even a free drink from the café for parents! ☕

📍 Marrawuddi Arts & Culture, 2 Gregory Place, Jabiru
📅 Every Tuesday, 10:00am – 12:00pm

This week, our Child and Family team had the privilege of attending the NT Youth Conference, and what a fantastic experience it was! 🌟

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with other organisations who share our passion for supporting young people and families across the NT. Being in the same room as so many dedicated professionals is always a reminder of just how much heart goes into this work.

We're already reflecting on the conversations had and the connections made. Here's to continuing to grow, collaborate, and show up for the young people in our communities. 💛

Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and we want to take a moment to celebrate every transgender and gender-diverse person in our community.

On Monday we celebrated Harmony Day together at our Bougainvillea Centre in Nightcliff, and it was a reminder of just how much richness and diversity exists within our teams 🧡

We are grateful to work alongside people that bring this much heart, culture and joy to everything they do.

Some partnerships just work, and our collaboration with Mind Blank Ltd is one we're incredibly proud of. 💛

Together, we've developed the Resilient Children Mental Health Awareness Early Intervention Program (RC-MHAP). A program close to both our hearts that brings mental health awareness to children aged 8–12 across urban and remote communities.

Through role-play, performing arts, and local storytelling, kids build real skills like emotional regulation, resilience, mindfulness, and the confidence to seek help when they need it. It's community-led, culturally grounded, and designed to meet children where they are.

We're proud of what this program has grown into, and excited to keep doing this important work alongside the Mind Blank team. 🙌

We love seeing work like this! 🙌
We're thrilled that TeamHEALTH is part of it. The VET Workforce Research project is doing some really meaningful work to help professionals stay current in a rapidly changing industry, and we can't wait to see where it leads. 🧡

After extensive research and co-design engagements, we have designed a pilot model and accompanying toolkit to support teachers, trainers and assessors to maintain industry currency as part of our VET Workforce Research project. The aim of this work is to facilitate stronger industry and RTO partnerships, and to help professionals remain up to date with rapid industry changes.

The project is part of the of Employment and Workplace Relations’ VET Workforce Blueprint. We are working to identify and respond to VET workforce challenges in aged care and disability services, children’s education and care, health, human (community) services, and sport and recreation. Findings from this work will inform our final report in June 2026.

Three aged care and disability services providers have been paired with four registered training organisations to take part in the 12-week program. They include TeamHEALTH, Breakthru, RMIT University, Brotherhood of St Laurence, Auctus Training Institute, Response Employment and Training and Three Tree Lodge.

What happens when health, education, and the arts come together? 💛

At this year's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Conference, our Child and Family Wellbeing Team shared how the Resilient Children Mental Health Awareness Program (RC-MHAP) is using storytelling, role-play, and performance to help children in remote NT communities understand their emotions, recognise warning signs, and feel confident asking for help.

This is what community-centred, culturally safe mental health care looks like. We're honoured to do this work alongside Mind Blank Ltd and The Smith Family Family. 🙌

🧡 Happy Harmony Day! 🧡

This year's theme is: Everyone Belongs. Today is a beautiful reminder that our differences are something to celebrate. Every culture, every story, every person, we all belong.
Wishing everyone a beautiful Harmony Day 2026!
