Don't forget the signs of a Stroke - make sure your mob knows F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech and Time) it could help save someone's life.

😊 Face - check their face, has their mouth drooped?
💪 Arms - can they lift both arms?
💬 Speech - is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
⏳ Time is Critical - if you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.

Stroke Foundation

This is a fact that shocks people - and it should.
In Australia, stroke kills more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer.
Yet many people don’t realise that a stroke is an attack on the brain, cutting off oxygen and causing brain cells to die.
Even more concerning, only 66% of Australians can name at least one sign of stroke.
So how many people are missing the signs - and not getting the life-saving treatment they need in time?
Please help us change that. Share this message with your friends and followers and help raise awareness in your community. When it comes to stroke, there is no time to lose.

⚫️🟡🔴Today, on National Close the Gap Day (Thursday 19 March 2026), we stand together to support health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Closing the gap means ensuring everyone has access to the same opportunities for a long, healthy life — no matter where they live or who they are. While progress has been made, there is still more work to do.

Let’s listen, learn, and take meaningful action — in our workplaces, communities, and everyday lives — to create lasting change.

Together, we can help build a future where health equality is a reality for all.
