Did you know Australians lose a staggering $31.5 BILLION every year to gambling?
That’s more than any other country in the world — and even more than what we spend on alcohol, to***co, and illicit drugs combined! 🚫🍺🚬💊

With major sporting events like the AFLGrand Final 🏆 just around the corner, it’s important to stay mindful of the real risks behind betting.

The truth is simple: gambling is designed so that most people lose — and only the industry wins. 🎲💔

If you or someone you love is struggling with gambling harm, you’re not alone. ❤️ BHN’s Gambler's Help Southern program offers free, confidential support.

🧠 As Dementia Action Week comes to a close, we’re proud to introduce a new smart tool to help deliver even better care and support for people living with dementia and their families.💙

✨ Introducing – a digital guide designed to support our clinical teams in creating tailored care plans and answering important questions, ensuring clients receive best-practice care.

Dementia is now the second leading cause of death in Australia, and the leading cause for women, with over 433,000 Australians currently living with the condition. Providing care is often complex and challenging - not just for clinicians, but also for families and carers.

That’s why this new tool matters. ✅ Tried and tested by our clinicians, My Dementia Companion Pro is now being rolled out across BHN teams to strengthen dementia care and offer more meaningful support to our community.💫

🌱 Together, we’re building stronger pathways of care for people living with dementia and their loved ones.

Today at BHN, we came together for a special R U OK? Day Lunch & Learn 💛

Hosted by our Alcohol & Other Drugs and Mental Health & Wellbeing Hub teams, the session was a chance for staff to connect, share, and reflect on how we can better support each other.

We learned about the power of checking in, the importance of self-care, and practical ways to respond when someone says, "No, I'm not OK."

Life has its ups and downs every day – that’s why it’s important to make “R U OK?” conversations part of any day, not just today. Starting a conversation could change - or even save - someone’s life.

Last week during Women's Health Week our Community Nursing team had the privilege of visiting a local women’s rooming house, to share a special talk on ‘Mind Health’ - why mental wellbeing matters, how to recognise the signs of mental illness, and protective practices that can help ease anxiety and keep us in the present moment.🌿💚

Together, we explored simple mindfulness activities, reminding ourselves of the power of a pause.🧘‍♀️✨

A big thank you to our wonderful neighbours and for their generous contributions to the goody bags – your support brought plenty of smiles.💜

Last week marked Speech Pathology Week 2025, and here at BHN, we celebrated the amazing role that speech pathologists play in helping people connect, communicate, and thrive.
The theme for Speech Pathology Week ‘Impact Through Communication’ reminds us that communication is more than just talking; it’s about confidence, inclusion, and independence. We enjoyed celebrating the incredible role speech pathologists play in helping people thrive at every stage of life.

One big family, driven by hope 💜 This International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember, support, and act.

Overdose continues to affect families and communities everywhere. We honour those lost, stand with loved ones left behind, and help break the stigma that surrounds overdose.

At Better Health Network, we support people through harm reduction, mental health, and community care.

Naloxone is a life-saving medication that reverses opioid overdose - and talking about it saves lives. Naloxone is available at BHN Needle and Syringe Programs at Prahran and South Melbourne.

This year’s theme, "one big family, driven by hope", reminds us that by uniting in compassion and action, we can build a safer future together.

Bold voices, and bright futures 💜
It was an absolute joy for our CEO, Andrea McLeod (she/her), to be part of a panel today, discussing leading out loud, at our Victorian Pride Centre (VPC) site.
In recognition of Wear It Purple Day, a movement that aims to increase visibility, support, and allyship for LGBTQIA+ young people, six organisations, including BHN, came together especially for this event.
With CEO of Minus18, Micah Scott (he/they), CEO of the Victorian Pride Centre, Paul Horwell (he/him), Chair of Switchboard Victoria, Morgan Podesta (she/her), Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Joe Ball (he/him), and CEO of JOY 94.9, Paul Scott-Williams (he/they) attending the panel, and hosted by the wonderful Rowena Doo (she/her), this event was a purpled-hued hour of powerful, poignant conversations.
With reflections on how far we’ve come, yet how far there is to go for the safety of rainbow people in schools and workplaces, panel members shared their reflections on inclusive and safe workplace practices, the important use of feedback (negative and positive), the significance of supporting policy changes, and the recognition that there’s still so much to do.
Here at BHN, we recognise and stand in solidarity with the strength of our LGBTQIA+ communities, clients, and staff, and acknowledge that creating safe spaces to belong is an ongoing commitment for us, enabling our people to be bold, proud and authentically who they are.

This ‘Tradie Health Month’ Victoria’s largest gambling support service, Gambler’s Help Southern, wants all tradies to know "we are here for you".

Young men (18-25) are the fastest growing group impacted by gambling harm and tradies often find themselves in the crosshairs of advertising, peer pressure and the gateway from gaming.

This has an insidious impact on our community.

Australians lose more on gambling per person than any other country in the world. At $31 billion a year - that's more than we spend on all other activities that can be addictive and dangerous (including alcohol, to***co and illegal drugs), combined.

Gamblers Help Southern provides free, confidential support to anyone impacted by gambling harm – including family and friends.
