This year’s World Prematurity Day message is inspired by the WHO’s World Health Day theme “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures”, which emphasises that the first days and months of life set the foundation for lifelong health, development, and potential. By focusing on early interventions, family-centered care, and equitable access to health services, we can ensure that preterm babies not only survive but thrive - creating brighter futures for children, families, and communities worldwide.

🌍 World Diabetes Day – Is Your Workplace Diabetes Aware? 💙

Today we’re encouraging business owners and leaders to pause and think:

🤔 Have we really considered how safe and supportive our workplace is for people living with diabetes?
🤔 Would our team know what to do if a colleague experienced a hypo?
🤔 Are we helping staff look after their health, wellbeing, and fitness to reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes?
🤔 Do we know how to support the 1 in 7 Australians in the workforce living with diabetes every day?

If you’re not sure — that’s okay. Diabetes SA is here to help!

We can guide your organisation to become more informed, inclusive, and confident in supporting people with diabetes — creating a workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported. 📞 Call us on 1300 198 204

💙 Know more and do more for diabetes at work!

October is Mental Health Awareness Month. It's ok to not be ok.

Quite often when we talk about mental health, we talk about it when we’re not travelling well. Mental health is not just about the tough times – it’s about building meaningful connections throughout life’s pivotal moments.

Whether it’s checking in with a friend who isn’t behaving how they typically do, offering support during life changes, or creating space for honest conversations, these connections are the foundation of good mental health.

Throughout October, Mental Health Coalition of South Australia is hosting a range of events to encourage communities to talk more openly about mental health, and help people find the resources they need.

🔹Leaders 🔹Caretakers 🔹Custodians of tradition & so much more.

On Wednesday’s International Day of Older Persons, we celebrate our older generation's contributions to society.

"All communities and ages benefit from the wisdom of older persons. They have much to teach about navigating uncertainty, resolving conflict, and building solidarity across generations,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

“Let’s commit to listening, learning, and acting. Let’s build a world where all people – of every age – can live with respect, security and opportunity."
