25.01.2022 Many Australians will remember the ‘Sid the Seagull’ campaign from the 1980s which launched the ‘Slip, Slop, Slap’ message. Some things have changed since then but our sun is still the same. In Australia, data shows that people aged 25-44 are the most likely to get sunburnt outside at peak times and are the group least likely to use shade when it's available. So as National Skin Cancer Action Week comes to an end we remind you of the importance of staying SunSmart. By using sun protection and preventing sunburn and skin damage you are reducing your risk of skin cancer including potentially deadly melanoma. So remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide.

25.01.2022 We remember them Today is Remembrance Day when we traditionally observe a minute’s silence at 11am if our work allows. We do this in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. We remember particularly the nurses, doctors, orderlies, allied and mental health professionals who have served our country, including many among the more than 100,000 Australian service personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left g...row old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." See more

10.01.2022 October, Australia’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, provides an opportunity for us all to focus on breast cancer and its impact on those affected by the disease in our community.

Survival rates continue to improve in Australia with 89 out of every 100 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer now surviving five or more years beyond diagnosis. 44 Victorian women are diag...nosed with breast cancer every day, but Australia leads the world in early stage breast cancer survival rates which are now 91% up from 74% twenty years ago. Take the time this month to find out what you need to know about breast awareness and share this important information with your family, friends and colleagues.
