Deciding whether to keep your child home when they're feeling off can be tricky, and it's okay to feel unsure. Here are a few symptoms to look out for that can help guide you.

If your child has a fever (a temperature above 38°C), diarrhoea or vomiting, or sore eyes with discharge, it's best to keep them home and let them rest.

Sometimes it's not so clear-cut. If you're worried and need advice, you can register online for the Child and Adolescent Virtual Urgent Care Service (CAVUCS) to speak with a paediatric-trained clinician.

Catalyst Foundation supports the amazing work that Homelessness Australia does to raise awareness and affect positive change for those impacted by homelessness.

Homelessness Week aims to build community support and government
commitment to end homelessness.

Homelessness services are stretched beyond their limits.
In 2024-25, more than 370,000 requests for assistance either went unanswered, were turned away without support, or could not be met.

We encourage everyone to learn more about how you can help make a difference 👇

Illnesses like influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can be dangerous, especially for vulnerable people.

Vaccination remains one of the best ways to protect yourself and those around you.

You can also reduce the risk of getting sick or passing infections on to others by:
• staying home if you're sick
• washing your hands regularly
• wiping down frequently touched surfaces
• covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow.
