In 2006 Starlight introduced the Captain Starlight program to the Northern Territory and now has a permanent presence in the Northern Territory. Starlight programs are provided in hospital and to communities through an outreach program.
Captain Starlight works alongside healthcare professionals to provide diversion and entertainment during clinic visits and hospital stays. Using their entertainment skills, Captain Starlight delivers positive healthcare education.
An external evaluation of the program found Captain Starlight is well accepted and the program fills a gap in the provision of entertainment and play activities in Aboriginal communities.
