Be Kind to Your Mind.🫶

If you've been following along with Women's Health Week at Jean Hailes for Women's Health you'll know that today's focus is 'Be kind to your mind'. It's a
great reminder to pause and check in with yourself.

Our HOSPO Health team has a range of short videos on mindfulness, happiness, gratitude, sleep, mental health, and resilience to support you too, not just this week but every week. Take a few minutes today to look through these, and think about how you can be kind to your mind – you deserve it.

🌸 Women’s Health Week: 10 Everyday Habits for Better Wellbeing 🌸

Working in hospitality is busy and demanding — but small, simple choices can make a big difference for your health. This week, we’re shining a light on practical steps women in hospo can take to look after themselves:

1️⃣ Prioritise good sleep – aim for 7–9 hours when you can.
2️⃣ Fuel your body with colourful fruits, veg, whole grains & lean protein.
3️⃣ Move daily – even a quick 10-minute walk counts.
4️⃣ Take time for yourself – read, stretch, breathe.
5️⃣ Stay on top of hydration – water is your best friend on long shifts.
6️⃣ Book those important check-ups & screenings.
7️⃣ Talk it out – share with someone you trust if you’re struggling.
8️⃣ Protect your skin – sunscreen, shade, and hydration.
9️⃣ Notice changes in your body & mood – check in with yourself.
🔟 Remember: rest isn’t a luxury, it’s essential.

💜 At HOSPO Health, we’re here to remind women in hospitality: you matter. Your health matters. This week (and every week), put yourself on the list.

Monday's session with the leadership team at Brewlab had the lot - some heart-pumping physical activity, a 'house of cards' challenge to test out skills and patience, and even a Gruen Transfer-style ad pitch for Brewlab!

We had so much fun, and there was a great sense of connection. A huge shoutout to this amazing crew for their creativity, energy and teamwork. 🙌

If you haven’t been to Brewlab yet, stop by for a meal or a drink. The costumes might be gone, but the amazing vibe is there every day! 🍻

Sharing our HOSPO Health expertise

When the Tasmanian Government released its Healthy, Active Tasmania: 20-Year Preventive Health Strategy, we knew it was the perfect opportunity to share what we’ve learned through HOSPO Health. 🌟

Since launching in 2022, HOSPO Health has supported Tasmania’s hospitality industry with free, practical tools to boost wellbeing across mental, physical, and social health. Now, we’re bringing those insights to the table in our submission to the government’s strategy.

In our submission, Tasmanian Hospitality Association CEO Steve Old talks about why it’s so important for hospitality to be part of this conversation - and how the lessons from HOSPO Health can help create a healthier, more resilient Tasmania.

Have a listen to how we're shaping the future.🎯

HOSPO Health was launched in late 2022 as a direct response to the challenges faced by Tasmania’s hospitality industry during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognising that true recovery required more than financial support, Tasmanian Hospitality Association CEO Steve Old led the charge to crea...
