March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain, fatigue and fertility challenges.

In Australia, around 1 in 7 women and those assigned female at birth are affected by age 49, yet many people wait years before receiving a diagnosis.

Awareness matters! Starting conversations can help people recognise symptoms earlier and seek support.

If you or someone you know experiences:
• Severe period pain
• Pelvic pain outside of periods
• Pain during in*******se
• Difficulty with fertility
It may be worth discussing with your GP.

This March, let’s break the stigma and start the conversation.

💛 Wear yellow
💛 Share awareness
💛 Support those living with endometriosis

Honouring our lovely practice nurses Carolyn and Samantha, who have been a pillar in our day to day clinical operations. Say a big hello to them if you see them. These girls rock! 🥳

🌟 Today we’re recognising the critical role of primary health care nurses 🌟

The first Wednesday in February marks Primary Health Care Nurses Day – a celebration of the vital work these nurses do to support proactive wellbeing and help keep Australians out of hospital.

Across Gippsland, primary health care nurses play an essential role in supporting individuals, families and communities, delivering high-quality care in general practice, community health, Aboriginal health services, residential aged care and outreach settings.

Gippsland PHN would like to say a huge thank you to all our primary health care nurses for their skill, dedication and commitment, and for the difference you make every day across our region.

Are you up to date with your Cervical Screening Test? See your GP to get yours done now!

Cervical screening is an essential tool in preventing cervical cancer – but many people are unsure if, or when, they need a test.

This Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, we've teamed up with RANZCOG to develop a guide to help you understand who needs screening, when to see a GP, and how often a Cervical Screening Test is recommended.

The Cervical Screening Test checks for human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes almost all cases of cervical cancer. Detecting HPV early saves lives by helping prevent cancer before it develops. You can choose to have a healthcare provider collect the sample using a speculum and small brush, or you can self-collect the sample using a small swab. Both options are equally as accurate at detecting HPV.

💬 If you are experiencing symptoms you are concerned about, or are unsure what applies to you, speak with your GP.

Chief Health Officer Alert – New measles cases in Victoria

Two new measles cases have been reported in Victoria, with two exposure sites identified in the Gippsland region.

If you visited one of the listed exposure sites during the specified dates and times, please monitor for symptoms and follow the advice provided.

View the most up-to-date exposure sites here: https://www.health.vic.gov.au/health-alerts/measles-public-exposure-sites-victoria

Symptoms of measles can include:
• Fever
• Cough or runny nose
• Sore or red eyes
• A red rash (usually appears a few days later)

There is an ongoing risk of measles.

If you’re aged 20 to 59, you may have only received one dose of the measles vaccine as a child, and two doses are needed for full protection. Not sure how many measles vaccines you’ve had, it’s safe to get the free Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccination.

Free measles vaccinations are available across Gippsland through Council immunisation clinics and participating local pharmacies. Book here: https://lrh.com.au/gippsland-region-public-health-unit/free-measles-vaccines/

You should also consider getting your MMR vaccination if you've recently returned from overseas or interstate travel.

If you’re planning to travel, make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date, including the MMR vaccine. Vaccination is recommended at least two weeks before departure.
