About

“It’s a Mob thing” health music festivals is a social enterprise that partners with local Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations to bring together community-led events for mob by mob. These events enable First Nations communities to take health promotion and messaging into their own hands, whilst also supporting local First Nations musicians, artists, businesses and health organisations.

It’s a Mob Thing is a unique festival that combines health promotion and health workshops at an all First Nations line up music festival. 

We focus on Mob (First Nations peoples), but open to all to attend and check out the deadly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists performances and learn all about your and your communities’ health. Health workshops, screening programs, promotional materials and referrals to health services are all part of the experience.
