NAIDOC Week 2019 at Wungen Kartup 01 January 0001 As part of the EMHS NAIDOC Week celebrations, the Wungen Kartup Specialist Mental Health Service recently hosted an event at the Graylands Campus. 100 guests from the Aboriginal community, including students, staff, mental health consumers and non-government organisations were treated to a bush BBQ and entertained by talented local singers and guest speakers.
