Protect Yourself, Protect Your Community

Immunisation is one of the simplest, safest and most effective ways to protect yourself, your family, and those around you from serious diseases. Vaccines help prevent illness, reduce complications, and keep our communities healthier.

The Australian Government's National Immunisation Program provides free vaccines for eligible people at different stages of life, from childhood through to adulthood. Staying up to date with recommended vaccinations is an important step in protecting your health.

Vaccination can help protect against:
• Influenza (flu)
• COVID-19
• Whooping cough
• RSV
• Other vaccine-preventable diseases

Parents are encouraged to keep their children's immunisations up to date, while older Australians and pregnant women should check which vaccines are recommended for them.

Not sure if you're up to date? Check your immunisation history and speak with your healthcare provider about recommended vaccinations.

What's on your medicines list?

Could you tell a doctor or nurse every medication you currently take?

Keeping an up-to-date medicines list can be particularly important if you become unwell or need unexpected medical care.

Include:
- prescription medicines
- over-the-counter medicines
- vitamins and supplements
- medication allergies or previous reactions.

Keep the list somewhere easy to find and consider having a copy on your phone or in your wallet.

It's a small job that can provide important information when healthcare professionals need it most.

ELF reading day 📚🐑
Kirsty and Sarah are reading Where is the Green Sheep? to encourage our little community members to learn about the importance of sleep. 😴

Sleep plays a vital role in children’s growth and development, helping their bodies and brains to rest, recharge and get ready for another day of learning, playing and exploring.

A good night’s sleep can help little ones feel happier, healthier and more ready to take on the day!

With thanks to Yea Vets for housing us! 😃

Understanding Palliative Care: Supporting Quality of Life

When people hear the term palliative care, they often think it only applies to the final days of life. In reality, palliative care is much broader and focuses on helping people live as fully and comfortably as possible while managing a life-limiting illness.

Palliative care is person and family-centred care designed for people living with serious illnesses. Its goal is to improve quality of life by addressing physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and practical needs.

Support can include:
- Relief from pain and other symptoms
- Emotional and psychological support
- Assistance with future care planning and medical decisions
- Help for families to discuss sensitive topics
- Cultural and spiritual support
- Counselling and grief services
- Access to respite care and other support services

Importantly, palliative care is not the same as end-of-life care. People can receive palliative care at any stage of a serious illness and continue other medical treatments at the same time.

Palliative care is available for people of all ages, including children, young people, adults, and older Australians. Care is delivered by a team of professionals that may include doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, psychologists, aged care workers, and trained volunteers.

By focusing on comfort, dignity, and support, palliative care helps individuals and their loved ones navigate challenging times with greater confidence and compassion.

Speech Pathology Week 2026: Communication Creates Possibility

This Speech Pathology Week, we recognise the incredible impact speech pathologists have in helping people of all ages communicate, connect, and participate fully in everyday life. The 2026 theme,"Communication Creates Possibility," highlights the important role communication plays in learning, building relationships, making choices, and maintaining independence.

Speech pathologists support people experiencing communication and swallowing difficulties, whether from childhood developmental needs, disability, illness, injury, or ageing. Their work helps individuals express themselves, connect with others, and achieve their goals.

This week, let's raise awareness of the importance of communication and celebrate the professionals who help make a difference every day. With the right support, communication can open doors to greater inclusion, wellbeing, and opportunity.

Wear It Purple Day
Creating safer, more inclusive environments for LGBTQIA+SB young people.

“Courage is not just expressed in big moments, but in everyday choices to live proudly and invite others into understanding, acceptance and celebration.”

Colours of Courage celebrates the many different forms of courage shown by LGBTQIA+SB young people, allies and communities every day.

Courage can look like speaking up, standing out and creating change. It can also take quieter forms of bravery, like living authentically, coming out, asking for support, standing beside someone, or choosing pride and hope in spaces where being yourself does not always feel easy.

The colours in this year’s theme reflect the diversity of identities, experiences and stories within our communities. Like light through a prism, every colour is different, but together they create something powerful.

Colours of Courage recognises the bravery it takes to push for change in schools, workplaces, communities and institutions where conversations about LGBTQIA+SB lives do not always happen. It celebrates the allies who choose to stand up, speak out and ask what they can do to help create safer, more inclusive spaces.

It also honours the courage of generations of LGBTQIA+SB people who came before us, and the strength of young people today as they continue to build community, connection and visibility.

Because courage is not only found in the big moments. It is found in the everyday choices to live proudly, support others and invite people into understanding, acceptance and celebration.
