Quit Your Way in May is just about here!
Getting ready to quit can feel a bit overwhelming. But making a checklist can assist you in preparing for your first day without smokes or vapes.

Some things you can include:
- Set your quit date and allow yourself time to prepare.
- Think of your motivation; is it for health reasons, your financial position or is it for your family?
- Think about why you smoke; is it a stress reliever, or has it become a habit? Understanding why you smoke can assist you in developing quitting strategies.
- How will you quit? Find a method that suits you. If you have tried in the past, perhaps try another method.

Is it necessary to get a cervical screening test if you’ve been through menopause? Yes.

The National Cervical Screening Program recommends all women between the age of 25 and 74 have regular cervical screening tests to reduce the likelihood of developing cervical cancer.

You should still continue regular screening after menopause even if you are no longer sexually active or only had one partner.

It's always best to speak to your healthcare provider about your screening options. For further information you can also call the National Cancer Screening Register on 1800 627 701.

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. It affects how people experience, interact with, and relate to the world around them. Autism affects people differently – which is why there’s a common saying: “If you’ve met one Autistic person, you’ve met one Autistic person.”

Autistic people have different experiences and need different levels of support.

There are many misunderstandings about autism that can be harmful, and these can make it harder for Autistic people to access the support they need.

Here are some facts about autism that are often misunderstood:
🧠 Most Autistic people want to make friends, though some may find this difficult.
🧠 Autistic people experience the same range of emotions as other people, they may just express them differently.
🧠 Autism is defined by differences in social communication and behaviours, not intelligence. Intellectual disability or high intelligence may co occur with autism.
🧠 There is no cure for autism, but Autistic people can develop skills for life with the right support.

Autistic people have great strengths which should be celebrated. These include:
🧠 Noticing patterns, details, or inconsistencies that others may miss.
🧠 Deep focus and persistence, particularly when working on areas of interest.
🧠 Honesty, integrity, and direct communication, which can support trust and clarity in relationships.
