Midawarr Day Out 2025
10 September 2025
In September, the East Arnhem Regional Council Aged Care Services & Disability Services team at Yirrkala brought our participants to Miḏawarr Day Out 2025 at the Gove Peninsula Surf Life-Saving Club, Nhulunbuy.
This year, Miḏawarr Day Out was organised by Miwatj Health, Raypirri Rom Programs and Anglicare NT. Miḏawarr Day Out 2025 brings local service providers and community members together to participate in fun activities facilitated by the local services in East Arnhem Land. Our participants from the Aged Care Services & Disability Services at Yirrkala appreciated the day out to connect with community, watch performances, and get involved in new activities.
