A mole that’s changing in size, shape, or colour could be a warning sign. Don’t ignore it – get it checked.

☀️ Protect your skin. Book your skin check.

It’s National Skin Cancer Action Week, a timely reminder to protect, check, and detect. 🧴👒

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, but most cases can be prevented or detected early with regular skin checks and sun protection.

🌤️ Remember the five key steps:

- Slip on clothing
- Slop on SPF 30+
- Slap on a hat
- Seek shade
- Slide on sunglasses

If it’s been more than a year since your last skin check, book in with your GP or skin specialist today, early detection saves lives.

This week we’re supporting National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week, a reminder that prevention starts with regular screening. 💜

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet too many women miss their routine Cervical Screening Test.

If you’re aged 25 to 74 and it’s been 5 years or more since your last test, book your screening today.

It’s a quick, simple check that could save your life.

This month, we’re proud to support Movember, raising awareness for men’s health, from prostate and testicular cancer to mental health and su***de prevention. 💙

At Brecken Health, we know that taking care of your health isn’t just about check-ups, it’s about speaking up, checking in, and supporting the men in our lives.

If you haven’t had your regular health check or prostate screening, now’s the perfect time to book an appointment with your GP.

👨‍⚕️ Let’s keep the conversation going, because a simple check or chat could save a life.

Did you know menopause doesn’t happen overnight?

It’s a gradual process that typically begins with perimenopause, when hormone levels start to fluctuate. This stage can bring symptoms such as:

👉 Hot flushes & night sweats
👉 Irregular periods
👉 Mood changes
👉 Trouble sleeping
👉 Vaginal dryness

Menopause is officially reached when a woman has had no periods for 12 months. After this, the postmenopause stage begins, where symptoms may ease but long-term health risks (like bone thinning and heart health changes) become important to manage.

💡 Every woman’s experience is different, but support is available. Our team can provide advice, treatment options, and lifestyle guidance to help you navigate this stage of life with confidence.
