Influenza (flu) is serious, but isn’t as scary if you’re vaccinated. A flu vaccine offers you and your child the best protection from serious illness.

The yearly flu vaccine is free for children aged 6 months to under 5 years, Aboriginal children aged 6 months and over, and children with serious health conditions. It is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over.

If your child is 2, 3 or 4 years old, they can get a free nasal spray flu vaccine in NSW. It is gentle, painless, and needle-free.

We marked National Doctors Day with a lunch and some friendly (but competitive!) table tennis to thank our doctors for their outstanding service and commitment.

It was a small way to say thank you for the care, compassion and dedication they show our community every day. Thank you to everyone who joined in celebrating and honouring our incredible doctors. 👏💙

Meet Julianne, an Occupational Therapist (OT) who has truly grown with south west Sydney.

Julianne started as a new graduate at Liverpool Hospital in 2007 and has spent her entire career in our District! Today, she leads the Occupational Therapy service at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital as Head of Department.

“It really shapes who I’ve become as a person. The voices of consumers have become the most important voice in the room.”

She loves the community feel at Bankstown. “We are a close-knit community. The cleaners, the IT team, the librarian. We all support each other to build a better system for our community.”

Her commitment also goes beyond her role. She champions disability inclusion as Chair of the Bankstown Disability and Carers Committee and recently became a joint carer for her niece.

“Diversity and inclusion are our superpower here in the District.”

Julianne’s journey shows the impact of staff who give back to the community they call home. 💙
