IAHA and IAHA NT Workforce Development are proud to support the ‘Don’t Switch Us Off This Summer’ campaign, which calls on State and Territory Governments and energy retailers to introduce protections that prevent prepayment electricity customers from being disconnected during extreme heat.

Speaking in support of the campaign, Jawoyn woman and Deputy CEO of IAHA and IAHA NTWD, Kylie Stothers, emphasised the critical link between energy security, housing and the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families.

“Housing is a foundational determinant of health, and energy security is a significant concern for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Territorians, particularly in remote and regional communities. The recent Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change identified the high rates of heat-related deaths in our changing climate, and heat stress is significant in the context of the lack of climate-appropriate and culturally responsive housing in the NT.”

❤️ 💛 🖤 Celebrating the 2026 Graduates of the Darwin IAHA National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Academy Program! 💚 🤍 💙

Last night, on Larrakia Country, we celebrated an incredible group of young people who have completed the IAHA National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Academy Program in Darwin, graduating with a Certificate III in Allied Health Assistance (and one with an additional Cert III in Business Administration!).

The evening commenced with being welcomed to Country by one of our graduating trainees, Larrakia woman Bella Lee. To have one of our own graduates welcome us to her Country was very special. A big thank you to Bella and to her Father Trent Lee for playing the yidaki.

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of our graduates. Their hard work, commitment and dedication throughout the two-year program have brought them to this important milestone. As the next generation of the Northern Territory's health workforce, these deadly young people have exciting futures ahead of them, and we can’t wait to see the amazing things they go on to achieve.

A heartfelt thank you to the families and carers who joined us to celebrate this special occasion, and who have supported and encouraged our trainees throughout their journey in the Academy. Your support is an important part of their success.

We also extend our sincere thanks to our group training provider, IAHA Group Training, and our RTO partner, Fox Education & Consultancy - RTO 40674 for their ongoing support and contribution to the program.

Congratulations to our 2026 graduates! We are so proud of you and look forward to seeing you take your next steps and make your mark on the future of health care in the Northern Territory.
