🖤 National Sorry Day 🖤

Today we acknowledge National Sorry Day—a time to recognise the strength of Stolen Generations survivors and reflect on the ongoing impacts of the past on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

It’s an opportunity to listen, learn, and show respect, while continuing the journey toward healing and reconciliation.

We honour the resilience of individuals, families, and communities, and recognise the importance of culturally safe care for all.

Take a moment today to reflect, have a conversation, or learn more about our shared history.

💜 May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month 💜

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system, making it harder to breathe and absorb nutrients. Ongoing care and early support can make a big difference.

In Australia, many people live with CF, and awareness helps drive research, support, and better outcomes.

Let’s show our support this month—learn more, spread awareness, and help make a difference. 💜
