HEALTH EMBASSY INITIATIVE

The Binar Health Embassy delivered exceptional results during 2025 at 6 locations around Western Australia -  Albany, Bunbury, Derby, Perth, Port Hedland and Broome. These activations provided culturally safe health services to hundreds of young people. By embedding health services directly into a trusted community setting — sport — the Health Embassy continues to overcome common barriers to access and encouraged proactive health engagement. 

2598 participants journeyed through the Health Embassies and is testament to the success and the significant impact we have in regional and metro communities by bringing health to community instead of waiting for community to go to health. Binar Health Embassies embed health services within sporting events, which is not only effective but essential for reaching populations that may otherwise face barriers to care. 

Our activities over these 6 sites identified 265 participants requiring doctor referral with approximately 53% of the 265 cases presenting with Ear Exam abnormalities signalling ear health as a dominant clinical issue.  

The 'Binar Way' engages all stakeholders in the region, including sport, health and community, in an effort to empower and equip Aboriginal children and young people the thrive and take control of their own choices in relation to their health and well-being. 

“All of my children attended the Health Embassy at the Bounce Back event. They had a fantastic time and were really happy to participate in the doctor stations. The passport activity kept them motivated and meant they didn’t give up halfway through. THEY WERE EXCITED TO COMPLETE EVERY STATION.”

HEALTH EMBASSY PARTICIPANT EXPERIENCE & SATISFACTION

“I liked the Health Embassy. It was kind of like going to the doctor, but fun. Because it was held in a place I already love going to, it didn’t feel scary at all.”
