Award-winning Wairadjuri and Ngunnawal actor and presenter Luke Carroll will visit Yarrabah this month to support a youth health campaign focused on regular checks, follow-up care and community connection.

Gurriny Yealamucka Health Services has confirmed Mr Carroll will be a special guest at the Yarrabah Youth Health Festival/YPC Campaign from June 29 to 30.

The festival forms part of the six-week Youth Prevention Campaign, which begins on June 22 and aims to engage Yarrabah young people aged 15 to 30 in proactive health checks.

The campaign will transform the outside lawn area of Bukki Road Clinic into a community hub with activities, health promotion and spaces for young people to connect with care in a familiar setting.

Mr Carroll said he was asked to support the festival after meeting one of the organisers at a health conference in Darwin earlier this year.

"Anything for a positive outcome for our people, especially our young people, I'll jump at the chance," he said.

"I love to engage with community face to face because it gives me strength to go back and do what I do in front of the stage and in front of the camera."

Mr Carroll will spend two days in community as part of the festival program.

His visit is expected to help encourage young people to take part in health checks and return for their results, which organisers say is a key part of improving long-term health outcomes.

"I'll be packing the running shoes and doing a 5k run," Mr Carroll said.

"You've got to talk the talk, walk the walk or run the run."

The campaign is designed to make health feel more accessible by blending clinical care with culture, creativity, sport and community activities.

Mr Carroll said the focus on young people was important because many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people still faced barriers when engaging with health services.

"We want everyone to get involved," Mr Carroll said.

"Our age target is 15 to 30-year-olds and it's basically about getting regular health checks and follow-up health checks as well.

"Some of that mob are afraid of the health system, or can be."

The festival program will include a fun run, juice bars, basketball, recreational activities, face painting and interactive health promotion.

Mr Carroll said the approach could help bring young people into a health setting in a way that felt more positive and community-led.

"It's great that we can get up there and have blackfellas talking to blackfellas about these things with a community-based health service," he said.

"We want to set a national benchmark for culturally strong, youth-focused care for our mob up there."

Mr Carroll's involvement also brings a different type of representation to the campaign, with organisers pointing to his career across film, television and theatre.

His work includes roles in Australian Rules, Redfern Now and The Artful Dodger, while he is also known to younger audiences through Play School.

He added it is important for young people to see role models from different fields, not only sport.

"Mob are succeeding in so many different fields out there, not just sport," Mr Carroll said.

The Yarrabah Youth Health Festival/YPC Campaign will run from June 22, with Mr Carroll appearing in Yarrabah from June 29 to 30.
