🎗️ This October, we’re raising awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

Around 20,000 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, including around 200 men. Each year more than 3,300 people lose their lives to the disease.

The good news? Breast cancer survival continues to improve, with the five-year relative survival rate now around 93%.

Know your normal and don’t ignore changes. If you notice a lump, change in breast shape or size, ni**le changes, skin changes or anything unusual, speak with your GP today:

In Australia, osteoporosis affects more than 1 million people, and around 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will experience a fracture due to osteoporosis during their lifetime.

The tricky thing about osteoporosis is that it often has no obvious symptoms. You may not know your bones are becoming weaker until a fracture occurs.

Things that can increase your risk include:
👵 Getting older
🧬 A family history of osteoporosis or fractures
🚬 Smoking
🍷 Excessive alcohol consumption
🦴 Previous fractures
💊 Certain medications and medical conditions
🌸 Menopause and declining oestrogen levels

There are many things you can do to support your bone health, including regular weight-bearing and resistance exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol.

If you’re concerned about your bone health or have risk factors for osteoporosis, talk to your GP. We can assess your individual risk and discuss whether further testing or treatment may be appropriate.

Everyone experiences menopause differently, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing the uncomfortable symptoms that can accompany it.

Common symptoms can include:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Sleep difficulties and fatigue
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Anxiety, mood changes or low mood
- Joint and muscle aches
- Vaginal dryness and changes in sexual health
- Changes to your periods

If menopause or perimenopause symptoms are affecting your everyday life, your GP can help you understand what's happening and work with you to develop an individualised management plan.

Arthritis isn’t just one condition. There are many different types, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout, and they can affect people of all ages.

A few things to remember:
👉 Arthritis can affect more than just your joints.
It can affect people of all ages.
👉 Symptoms aren’t always visible, but the pain and impact can be very real.
👉 There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.
👉 While there is currently no cure for many forms of arthritis, symptoms can often be managed with the right combination of treatment, exercise, lifestyle changes and support.

If arthritis is affecting your everyday life, you don’t have to manage it alone. Our GPs can help with assessment, ongoing management and referrals to appropriate specialists and allied health professionals.

Mental health is an important part of our overall health and looking after it deserves the same care and attention as looking after our physical health.

This Mental Health Month, we’re encouraging our Total GP Care community to speak up about their mental health.

💡 Did you know?
1 in 5 Australians aged 16-85 experienced a mental disorder in the previous 12 months, while 43% of Australians aged 16-85 have experienced a mental disorder at some point in their lifetime.

These numbers remind us that mental health concerns are common, so if something doesn’t feel right, or if you’re concerned about a friend or loved one, encourage them to reach out for support. An appointment with your GP is a great first step.

A healthier heart starts with the choices we make every day.
Small, consistent choices can make a big difference:
🥗 Eat for your heart - choose more vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes and healthy fats, while limiting excess salt, sugar and saturated fats.
🏃 Keep moving - aim for regular physical activity and find movement you enjoy, whether it’s walking, cycling, swimming or dancing.
🚭 Don’t smoke - quitting smoking is one of the most powerful things you can do for your heart health.
🍷 Be mindful of alcohol - drinking less can help reduce cardiovascular risk.
😴 Prioritise sleep - quality, regular sleep supports your heart and overall health.
🧘 Manage stress - make time to unwind, connect with others and practise healthy ways to manage everyday pressures.
🩺 Know your numbers - keep an eye on blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose, and talk to your healthcare professional about your individual risk.

This World Heart Day, make one change for your heart and keep building from there.
