Today is International FASD Awareness Day.

9:09 am on the 9th day of the 9th month is observed every year in recognition of the importance of being alcohol free for the nine months of a pregnancy.

There is no known safe amount of alcohol which can be consumed during pregnancy and it is the responsibility of the whole community to support alcohol free pregnancies. Around the world, the month of September is recognised as FASD month to raise awareness about FASD and the importance of an alcohol free pregnancy.

No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy—alcohol exposure at any stage can affect fetal development.
- Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
- FASD is a lifelong condition that affects learning, memory, behaviour, and overall health.
- If you could be pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy, abstinence from alcohol is safest option.
- Partners play a key role—research links alcohol consumption to poor s***m quality and other reproductive health risks.
- Alcohol consumption while breastfeeding can affect your baby’s development, sleep patterns, and overall health.
- Helpful resources and expert guidance are available to support alcohol-free pregnancy.

The National Organisation for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (NOFASD) was founded on the 23rd of March 1999 by Ms Sue Miers AM, because of her personal

The Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, provided by Myhealth Kable St and located on Level 1, 2 Kable St, open 7 days a week from 8am to 10pm.

This service is designed to complement general practice by offering an additional layer of healthcare support to our community, bridging the gap between primary and acute care for people with urgent, non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries when their usual GP is not available.

The clinic will:

- provide an alternative to emergency departments for clinical conditions, including wounds, infections, pregnancy-related pain or bleeding in the first trimester, IV hydration, closed sporting injuries and minimally displaced fractures
- be open from 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM, 7 days a week, 365 days a year
- have a dedicated entry separate to the Kable Street general practice
- accept walk-ins and GP referrals
- be bulk-billed for patients with a valid Medicare Card
- include on-site services such as pathology (radiology coming soon)
A Discharge Summary will be sent to the patient's regular GP (if they have one) via secure messaging and an Event Summary will be added to their My Health Record, if applicable.

Pitt Town Family Practice invites you to register with the My Medicare scheme.
When you register in MyMedicare, it will notify your general practice that you have chosen them as your regular care team.
MyMedicare patients will have access to:
- greater continuity of care with your registered practice, which has been demonstrated to improve health outcomes
- longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP

More importantly, with Medicare going digital with every patient being asked to sign for their bulk billed visit electronically. Reception will now be asking you to sign an enduring and ongoing assignment form, to alleviate the need when being fully bulk billed by your Doctor to agree each and every visit. This new form we ask you to sign, will cover your agreement to be bulk billed to the end of June 2027. But you must be registered with My Medicare and our practice to take advantage of the enduring and ongoing assignment for bulk billing.

Bullying No Way Week

2026 theme: Small Acts, Big Impact
Bullying is everyone’s responsibility, and small acts can make a real difference.

This year’s theme reminds us that actions don’t need to be big to change someone’s world.

Small actions – like including someone, speaking up or showing kindness – can create meaningful change.

In our schools and communities, our goal is to build environments where everyone belongs, diversity is celebrated and bullying is never accepted.

During Bullying No Way Week, we encourage students, schools, families and communities to engage in small acts that can have a big impact against bullying.
