VICTORIAN WOMEN, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU! 💚

The green whistle (Penthrox) is now available for IUD procedures at every Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health Hub in Victoria. All 20 of them... Hallelujah.

It's the same fast-acting, short-term pain relief often used in emergency settings. You hold it. You stay in control. The days of "just take a Paracetamol beforehand" are behind us and we're not looking back.

Hub appointments are free, and yes, that includes regional Victoria. More than 11,000 Victorian women and girls used the hubs last year, and anyone walking through those doors for an IUD insertion or removal now has access to free, effective pain relief.

📍 Find your nearest hub: https://go.vic.gov.au/4fawntb

Happy International Nurses Day to our incredible nursing team at Verve 💙

If you’ve ever come in for a vaccine, dressing, iron infusion, health assessment or a care plan appointment and left feeling supported, motivated and cared for — then you’ve probably met one of our amazing nurses.

Julie, Ebony, Sarah, Edwina and Heather bring so much warmth, knowledge and compassion to our patients every single day, and we are so grateful for everything they do ✨

You can’t always tell what someone’s carrying just by looking.

For some, it’s long shifts and little sleep.
For others, it’s trying to stay present when everything feels a bit… loud.
It might be waiting on answers.
Or missing someone deeply.

We don’t always see what’s behind someone’s day. That’s why small moments of kindness matter - a check-in, a listening ear, a little patience. And that same kindness counts for yourself, too.

Looking after your mental health doesn’t have to be big or perfect.
It can be stepping outside for some fresh air, sending a message, taking a pause, or reaching out for support.

If you need extra support, there are services across Victoria available 24/7. You’re not alone, and help is there when you need it.

None of it good.
