May is Lung Health Awareness Month, and we recognise that lung health is strongest when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities lead their own initiatives, and we're proud to support that work.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer and leading cause of cancer death among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, making early detection more important than ever. If you've had a cough hanging around, or you're feeling breathless, tired or sore, don't wait. Getting your lungs checked early keeps you healthy, strong, and here for your mob.
The new National Lung Cancer Screening Program is an equitable, accessible, and culturally safe option for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
People can participate in the program if they:
Are aged between 50 and 70 years; and
Are asymptomatic (no signs or symptoms suggestive of lung cancer); and
Currently smoke or have quit smoking in the past 10 years; and
Have a history of cigarette tobacco smoking of at least 30 pack-years (1 pack year is equivalent to 20 cigarettes each day for a year).
To learn more about being screened for lung cancer, please reach out to our Ipswich Clinic at (07) 3810 3000 or our Laidley Clinic at (07) 5465 3541

Came across a similar thread while browsing an Australian gaming forum quite late in the evening, and what stood out was how quietly analytical it felt. Instead of pushing strong opinions, it focused on things like layout balance, row contrast, and how interface consistency holds up over longer sessions. That kind of detail usually comes from regular use rather than quick impressions. After reading, I checked a few platforms myself, and Kingmaker Casino seemed to align reasonably well with those observations. The tone felt grounded, like someone sharing experience rather than trying to convince.
