Do you feel like you don't have time for self-care? 😞

It's easy for self-care to slip away when you're juggling all the demands of being a parent or carer. But you don't need to make big changes to take good care of yourself. ❤

Slowly but gently, you can tweak your routine and make tiny adjustments to help meet your needs and feel like the best version of yourself. ✨

Don't think of this as a ‘to-do’ list. Instead, pick and choose what works best for you and what you can fit into your day.

It's hard to give yourself a break when you're carrying so much, but starting small can lead to big differences. ❤️

In addition to that uneaten fruit and maths homework, kids can bring home all sorts of things from school. 🦠

An increase in flu cases is expected among school aged kids now that school has resumed. The flu is highly contagious and spread through coughs, sneezes and shared surfaces.

As you prepare your kids to return to school, have a think about how you can protect them (and you) from sickness:
✅ stay up-to-date with immunisations including influenza
✅ teach children to sneeze and cough into their elbows
✅ wash hands regularly (and teach little ones too)
✅ keep kids home when they’re sick
✅ clean surfaces around your home regularly and avoid sharing items.

Caring for a sick child can be a challenging time. Don’t hesitate to ask for help from those around you—whether it’s a pharmacy run or a warm cuppa. 🤍

If you’re worried about how the flu may affect you or your child, talk to your doctor or call 13 HEALTH (available 24 hours a day) to speak to a nurse.

Flu vaccination is free for all Queenslanders aged 6 months or older. It's available through more than 2,500 community immunisation providers, including GPs, community pharmacies and community health clinics.
