17.01.2022 If you’re aged 25 to 74, and have a cervix, you need to have a Cervical Screening Test every five years. Unfortunately, over half of eligible Victorians aged 25 to 34 are missing out on lifesaving cervical screening. You don’t have to be old to get cervical cancer; cervical screening is the best way to protect yourself and look after your health for the future.

17.01.2022 Last Wednesday, saw the third in a series of forums and capacity building activities take place at the Alexander Oval Hall. This was the first face to face forum since pre-covid times, and was designed to support Integrated Health Planning across the Grampians Pyrenees catchment of PCP's - which include the Pyrenees Shire, City of Ararat and the Northern Grampians Shire. We had representation from local Governments across the catchment as well as representation from Preventio...n and Health Promotion colleagues, and community partners whose important work will inform the planning process. Our facilitator for the day was Anita Thomas, who has an extensive background in prevention and health promotion. Anita will be continuing to work with us on this series of forums, with the next forum including an evaluation specialist which will see the development of an outcomes and evaluation framework. Catering for the day was an amazing array of beautifully made wraps and a fruit platter supplied by Sarah Ramsay from Foragers Cafe, and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Foragers Cafe Ararat

16.01.2022 NAIDOC Week - colouring in for the kids The Rainbow Serpent came out of the Dreamtime to create this land. It is represented by the snake and it forms the shape of Australia, which symbolises how it created our lands. The colour from the Rainbow Serpent is reflected on to the figure to display our connection to the Rainbow Serpent, thus our connection to country. The overlapping colours on the outside is the Dreamtime. The figure inside the shape of Australia is a represent...ation of Indigenous Australians showing that this country - since the dawn of time - always was, and always will be Aboriginal land. https://www.naidoc.org.au//2020-naidoc-poster-colouring-in #NAIDOCWeek2020 #NAIDOC2020
