On Monday 27 July, the Australian Government will conduct a national test of its new emergency alert system, AusAlert. In Victoria, the test alert will be sent at 2pm. If your phone is compatible, it will vibrate and play a loud siren for around 10 seconds, even if it is set to silent.

If you have a hidden or secondary phone for your safety, this test could increase the risk of it being discovered. To help protect your safety, it is recommended that you turn the device off or switch it to aeroplane mode at least one hour before the test and keep it off for 24 hours afterwards.

If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence and needs support, help is available. In Victoria, you can contact Safe Steps on 1800 015 188 (24/7) for crisis support and safety planning, or contact 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for confidential support and advice. You can also find a range of local support services through WHIN - Women's Health in the North Get Help page: https://www.whin.org.au/contact/get-help/

On 25 June, we welcomed 50 participants to our wulempuri barring site for a celebration bringing together newly arrived refugees, new members and familiar faces to share stories and celebrate the strength and diversity of our communities.

The day featured storytelling, traditional food that reminded many of home, and the chance to learn about our services, including dental, physiotherapy and optometry. Participants also met with Victoria Police, Lalor Neighbourhood House and Victorian Arabic Social Services to learn more about the programs, services and support available in the local area.

Events like these help people feel informed, welcomed and connected as they settle into the community. We look forward to continuing to create opportunities that bring people together and celebrate the diversity of our communities.

Today is International Non-Binary People's Day, recognising and celebrating non-binary identities and experiences.

Non-binary people exist across every community, culture and age group, and like everyone else, deserve healthcare that sees and respects who they are.

Our Trans and Gender Diverse Individuals and Carers (TGDIC) service provides affirming, judgement-free support for trans and gender diverse people and the people who care for them. If you or someone you know could benefit from gender-affirming care, we are here.

This National Diabetes Week, we are raising awareness about diabetes and how it impacts people, families and our health system.

Diabetes can affect anyone, and like other ongoing health conditions, it is easier to manage with the right support and care around you. Our Diabetes Education Group helps people build practical skills and feel more confident managing day-to-day. If you or someone you know is living with diabetes, we are here to help.

Struggling to stay warm this winter?

A cold home is not just uncomfortable, it can raise your risk of respiratory infection, high blood pressure, and falls, especially for older people and those managing long-term health conditions.

The good news: small, free changes can make a real difference:
🚪 Close doors to rooms you are not using
🪟 Use curtains to trap heat
🧣 Dress in layers
☕ Have regular warm meals and drinks

If energy bills are making it hard to stay warm, free support is available through the Energy Assistance Program. If the cold is already affecting your health, contact us to book a doctor's appointment.

Today is the start of NAIDOC Week! This year's theme is 50 Years of Deadly which celebrates five decades of strength, resilience, culture and community. ❤️💛🖤

This morning we joined the Flag Raising Ceremony at the Aborigines Advancement League, followed by a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony at our wulempuri barring site, led by Wurundjeri man Colin Hunter Jnr. We were also honoured to celebrate this year's NAIDOC award recipients, Liana Liddle, Alkira Clark and Adam Krakouer.

There is so much happening this NAIDOC Week, we encourage you to check out local events and show your support: https://www.naidoc.org.au/local-events/local-naidoc-week-events

This week is NAIDOC Week. The theme is 50 Years of Deadly.

Fifty years ago, NAIDOC Week began as a call for truth and recognition. It has grown into a national celebration of culture, leadership and resistance.

We look back on that journey, the marches, the languages kept alive, the art made through love, loss and community, and the Elders who stood firm so others could follow.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue that work today. They lead change in health, justice and equity for their communities.

We stand proudly in allyship this NAIDOC Week. We honour the last 50 years and we continue walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Darebin all year round.
