25.01.2022 The Tas Central Coast Group has a Zoom Catch Up this Friday all about the early days. We will be talking about all things life with a newborn. For some of ...us those days are becoming a distant memory, and for some of us we are still in the thick of it. Whichever stage you are in, we would still love to see you :) Hearing the stories of other mothers who have been through the same thing, can help us feel like we are not alone. So please come along and share with us, even if your little ones are not so little anymore. Topic: Early Daze: Life with a new baby Time: Aug 7, 2020 10:00 AM https://zoom.us/j/91973440714 Meeting ID: 919 7344 0714 No matter what the weather, we can still rug up in a cozy blanket and connect. See you all then :)

25.01.2022 Are you prepared for spring? Spring is the season where the weather warms, flowers begin to bloom and theres an overall sense of new beginning in the air. However, for many people, Spring can be a difficult time. This is particularly so for people with asthma and/or allergies as during Spring there is often an increased amount of pollen in the air which may trigger hay fever symptoms or an asthma flare-up or attack. As we approach pollen season, we are urging the one in five... Australians who get seasonal allergies to act now to avoid experiencing symptoms which could be mistaken for COVID-19. Head over to Asthma Australia to learn more about how to manage your asthma and allergy symptoms this Spring. https://asthma.org.au/about/live-with-asthma/spring-asthma/

01.01.2022 The #NAIDOC2021 theme is: HEAL COUNTRY! which calls for all of us to continue to seek greater protections for our lands, our waters, our sacred sites and our ...cultural heritage from exploitation, desecration, and destruction. Country that is more than a place and inherent to our identity. For generations we have been calling for stronger measures to recognise, protect, and maintain all aspects of our culture and heritage. We are still waiting for those robust protections. This year’s theme also seeks substantive institutional, structural, and collaborative reform something generations of our Elders and communities have been advocating, marching and fighting for. Healing Country means finally resolving many of the outstanding injustices which impact on the lives of our people. It is about hearing and actioning our aspirations which are the culmination of generations of consultation and discussions among our nations on a range of issues and grievances. After 250 years, our children and our future generations deserve better.
