November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Australia. Raising awareness of risk factors, symptoms and early detection can help people make informed decisions about their lung health.
Australia's National Lung Cancer Screening Program offers free screening to eligible people at higher risk of lung cancer, even when they don't have symptoms.

You may be eligible if you are aged 50–70, currently smoke or have quit within the past 10 years, and have a history of to***co cigarette smoking of at least 30 pack-years. Your GP can help determine whether you are eligible.

If you have concerns about your lung health, such as a persistent cough, coughing up blood or unexplained shortness of breath, it's important to speak with your GP. These symptoms should be assessed even if you don't meet the screening program criteria.

Your GP can discuss your individual risk factors, symptoms and whether further assessment or lung cancer screening may be appropriate. Contact your local clinic to arrange an appointment.

November is Movember, a reminder to make men's health a priority. 💙

From prostate and testicular health to mental wellbeing, it's important to have open conversations about your health and any concerns you may have.

Regular conversations with your GP can help you better understand your personal health risks, discuss changes you've noticed and determine whether any checks, further assessment or support may be appropriate for you.

You don't have to wait until something is wrong to talk to your GP. Whether it's a change you've noticed, a question about your health or simply time for a general check-in, making time for your health is a positive step.

This Movember, encourage the men in your life to make time for their health.

If you have a health concern or it's been a while since you've seen your GP, contact your local clinic to book an appointment.

Travelling overseas this summer? Start planning your travel health now.

Whether you're heading away for a holiday, visiting family overseas or travelling for work, preparing before you leave can help protect your health while you're away.

Different destinations can have different health risks, and your GP can provide personalised advice based on your destination, itinerary and individual health needs.

Before you travel, your GP can discuss:

- Travel vaccinations
- Routine vaccinations
- Mosquito-borne illnesses
- Food and water safety
- Medications and other travel health needs

Some vaccinations require multiple doses, while others may take time to become effective.

Where possible, book your pre-travel appointment at least 6–8 weeks before departure. Even if you're travelling sooner, it's still worth speaking with your GP about what you may need.

Planning a December or January getaway? Now is a good time to book your pre-travel appointment.

Around 1 in 4 people globally will experience a stroke in their lifetime, and many stroke risk factors can be managed.

Knowing the signs of stroke and acting quickly can make a difference. Remember F.A.S.T.:

• Face: Has their mouth drooped?
• Arms: Can they lift both arms?
• Speech: Is their speech slurred or unusual?
• Time: If you notice any of these signs, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

Stroke risk factors can include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, atrial fibrillation and being overweight or obese.

Having one or more risk factors does not mean you will have a stroke, but they may be worth discussing with your GP.

Your GP can assess your individual risk factors and discuss steps that may help reduce your risk.

As the days get warmer and we spend more time outdoors, sun protection is worth keeping front of mind.

A few simple habits can help reduce UV exposure, including seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and applying sunscreen when appropriate.

It’s also a good idea to be aware of any new or changing spots on your skin. If you notice something unusual or have concerns about your skin, your GP can assess it and discuss whether further checks may be appropriate.

Osteoporosis makes bones weaker and more likely to fracture. Because it often develops without obvious symptoms, many people don’t know they have it until a fracture occurs.

More than 1.2 million Australians are estimated to live with osteoporosis.
World Osteoporosis Day on 20 October is a reminder to keep bone health on the radar.

The risk of osteoporosis increases with age, and bone loss can accelerate around and after menopause. Family history, some medicines, low calcium or vitamin D levels and smoking can also increase risk.

Having risk factors does not mean a fracture is inevitable. If you’re concerned about your bone health, your GP can discuss your individual risk factors and whether further assessment may be appropriate.

Veterans’ Health Week is a timely reminder that the health effects of service don’t always end when service does.

Some veterans may experience concerns such as chronic pain, hearing loss, disrupted sleep or changes in their mental health during or after service. Some health concerns may also emerge years later.

Your GP can help assess physical and mental health concerns, coordinate ongoing care and connect you with other health professionals when appropriate.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before talking about your health. Starting the conversation can be a useful first step.

Eating well isn’t always as simple as knowing what’s “healthy”.

Cost, time, appetite, culture, health conditions and even how you’re feeling can all influence what ends up on the plate.

National Nutrition Week runs from 12 to 18 October and is a good reminder that there’s no single right way to eat. Small, realistic changes may support your health and can be part of managing conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.

If your health or circumstances make eating well difficult, talk with your GP. Where appropriate, they can discuss whether a referral to a dietitian may be helpful.

Nutrition advice should take into account your individual health needs, circumstances and preferences.

World Mental Health Day falls on 10 October, during Mental Health Week.
It’s easy to wait until things feel unmanageable before talking about your mental health. You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to discuss how you’re feeling.

Changes such as trouble sleeping, losing interest in things you’d normally enjoy, feeling flat for weeks or being more irritable than usual can be worth discussing with your GP.

Depending on your circumstances, your GP may recommend a Mental Health Treatment Plan, which may provide access to Medicare rebates for eligible mental health services.

If you’re concerned about your mental health, talking with a health professional can be a useful place to start.

188 workers died from a work-related injury in Australia in 2024. In 2023–24, there were more than 146,000 serious workers’ compensation claims.

National Safe Work Month runs throughout October. This year’s theme, Safe work is for life, is a reminder that workplace harm isn’t always the result of a single incident.

A back injury after years of lifting, hearing loss from ongoing noise exposure, or stress that’s been building over time can all affect your health.

If something at work is affecting your physical or mental health, your GP can assess your concerns and discuss appropriate next steps, including support for recovery or return to work.

You don’t have to wait until a problem becomes serious to raise a health concern.
