18.01.2022 This week we look at NAIDOC Week! Celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities but by people all over Australia. NAIDOC Week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and support the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and ...Islanders Day Observance Committee’. This committee was responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week and its acronym has since become the name of the week itself. The Australian Government has supported national NAIDOC celebrations as well as providing grants to fund local celebrations.

11.01.2022 This week marks the commencement of Pain Awareness Week. Millions of Australians with chronic or persistent pain are overlooked every day and end up falling through the gaps of the health systems costing the nation billions. In 2018, approximately 3.24 million Australians lived with chronic pain and this number is set to rise to 5.23 million by the end of 2050. (painaustralia, 2019) ... So, what is chronic pain? Chronic pain, also known as persistent pain, is pain that continues beyond the time expected for a painful condition or injury to heal. Chronic pain can have an impact on many areas of a person’s life not just their health. This could cause an impact on work, family, social, physical and mental areas in a person’s life. The key to managing chronic pain is to first learn how to self-manage and learn what works for the individual. The primary focus should be managing the pain to improve day-to-day functions rather than focusing on completely ceasing the pain. Pain can be managed through the following aspects: Gentle exercise such as yoga Sleep Meditation/relaxation Massage/acupuncture Hydrotherapy Diet changes Complementary & traditional medication Talking with a GP, pharmacist and other health professionals may help you to make an informed decision on how to move forward in planning a personal pain management plan, to manage day-to-day activities as comfortable as possible. As a nation, we need to recognise chronic pain and to put it in the spotlight to give people suffering a chance to live free of pain. Sometimes listening and making suggestions to see a doctor or healthcare professional, and for a person to be reminded they’re not alone, is what they need to take a step in the right direction to manage chronic pain.
