This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re shining a light on something many experience, but not everyone talks about.

🧠 1 in 5 Australians aged 16–85 have lived with a mental health condition.¹ That’s millions of people, friends, family, colleagues, you or me.

If you're finding things tough right now, please remember:
You're not failing. You're feeling, and that’s human.

You don’t have to go through it alone.
✨ Speaking up can open doors to healing.
✨ Asking for help is brave, not weak.
✨ Support is out there and it can make a real difference.

If you or someone you know needs support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.

Have you done your breast self-check this month?🎀

Knowing what’s normal for your body is key, as early detection starts with you. 💗

Some symptoms to look out for¹:
• A lump or swelling in your breast or underarm
• Changes in shape or size
• Skin dimpling or irritation
• Unusual or ongoing breast pain
• An indent

Remember to check all parts of your breast, your armpits, and up to your collarbone. If something doesn’t feel right, see your GP. Most changes aren’t cancer, but it’s always best to check.
