Marmun Mia-Mia Family Health Day

The Marmun Mia-Mia Family Health Day is an annual event held on the first Wednesday of November, aimed at promoting health and well-being within the Armadale region of Western Australia. The event brings together families, local health services, and community members to raise awareness about various health issues, provide support, and foster connection. It offers a range of activities, including health talks, traditional performances, and live music, creating a lively environment where people of all ages can come together to engage with health professionals and enjoy cultural activities.

The day typically sees the participation of a variety of service providers, such as Derbarl Yerrigan Health Service, headspace Armadale, and Richmind WA, who provide valuable resources and information on mental health, family support, and other essential services. It is a celebration of both health and culture, with activities like traditional dance and music performances from local artists, including the well-known country musician Ian Simpson, who has performed at past events. Beyond health education, the event also fosters community spirit, providing a chance for people to connect, share meals, and support one another in a welcoming and inclusive setting.
