World Mental Health Day Today, Saturday 10 October, is World Mental Health Day.

Let’s yarn about bowel cancer Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the risk increases as you get older. But the good news is that 90% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated if found early.

These tests can be done at home, simplifying bowel cancer testing. Because

Queensland Mental Health Week- Saturday 3 October- Sunday 11 October 2026 Mental health isn’t shaped by individual experience alone, it’s built in the communities around us.

This year’s theme, Build Community, Build Wellbeing, is an invitation to move beyond awareness and into action. To celebrate the everyday moments of connection that help people feel

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer develops when some cells in the breast don’t work properly. These cells start to grow out of control and form a lump. This is called a tumour. Not all tumours are cancer, but they need to be tested in case they are. Here's the tricky part: some women have breast cancer and don't notice a single thing. That's exactly why catching it early matters so much. The sooner it's found, the easier it is to treat, and the better y

World Heart Day Today, Tuesday 29 September 2026, is World Heart Day.

Dementia Action Week, 21-27 September 2026 It’s time to talk about dementia. Almost .5 million Australians are living with dementia today and over 1.7 million people are involved in their care. But we don’t talk about it enough, it can feel too hard to raise. We worry about saying the wrong thing. And it’s often wrongly seen as just a part of getting older. But silence has a cost - delayed diagnoses and treatment, carers who feel isolated, and people who never learn that help
