It’s Men’s Health Week — and as we head into the weekend, here’s your nudge to do something simple but powerful:

Check in on your mates!

Send a text. Make a call. Grab a coffee or a beer. Ask, “How you really going?” - and stick around for the answer.

You don’t need all the right words. You just need to show up. Because silence doesn’t mean someone’s OK, and being a good mate could make all the difference.

Remember, our services are here if you or someone you know needs support - 1300 706 922

Men's Health Week - Guys, Let's Talk About Diabetes

This isn’t just about blood sugar. It’s about your energy, your heart, your future.

Right now, around one million Aussie blokes are living with diabetes and what’s worse?
▪ Men are 50% more likely to die from diabetes than women.
▪ 1 in 3 men with diabetes don’t know they have it.
▪ Waiting too long to get help can lead to heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and more.

But here’s the good news: type 2 diabetes is preventable - and manageable - with the right support.

At 360 Health + Community, we’re here to help you take control. Our team of Diabetes Educators, Dietitians, and Exercise Physiologists will back you in with:
✅ A clear understanding of your condition
✅ A plan to manage your blood sugars
✅ Tips to boost your energy and mental clarity
✅ Tools to prevent complications
✅ Support that actually fits into your life

You don’t have to figure it out alone. The earlier you take action, the better your chances of living well for longer.

📞 Call us on 1300 706 922 to find out how we can support you, or someone you care about.

Men’s Health Week - Fuel Your Body, Fuel Your Life

Ever noticed how certain meals leave you feeling flat, while others lift your energy and mood? That’s because what you eat doesn’t just fuel your body, it also impacts your mind.

From your focus and sleep to your long-term health, food plays a powerful role in how you feel every day.

At 360 Health + Community, our Accredited Practising Dietitians work alongside men (and women) to make simple, sustainable changes that fit your life - no diets, no guilt, no fads. Just real food and real support.

Whether you want to manage diabetes, support heart health, or simply feel more energised - we’re here to help you eat well, live well and enjoy life to the absolute fullest.

Because eating well isn’t about being perfect. It’s about giving yourself the fuel to feel your best.

This Men’s Health Week, we're putting the spotlight on the whole picture of men’s health, because being healthy isn’t just about hitting the gym or avoiding the doctor.

➡️ Physical Health:
Men are more likely to experience lifestyle-related health issues and less likely to seek help.
▪️1 in 2 Australian men have at least one chronic condition.
Our Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians, and Diabetes Educators are here to support better movement, nutrition and management of conditions like diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

➡️ Mental Health:
Too many men suffer in silence.
▪️ Over 7 Australian men take their lives every week.
360 Health provides counselling, peer support and accessible mental health programs to help men build resilience, find connection and feel heard.

➡️ Social Wellbeing:
Loneliness and isolation can affect your health just as much as smoking.
At 360 Health, our community programs and group exercise sessions help men stay connected, build strength - physically and mentally - and create a sense of purpose and belonging.

This week - and every week - let’s change the conversation because taking care of your health and asking for help is strength, not weakness.

To explore how 360 Health + Community can support you or a loved one, give us a call on 1300 706 922.

🖤💛❤️ National Reconciliation Week 2025 ❤️💛🖤

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, work, and deliver our services. We honour their enduring connection to land, waters, skies, and community and we pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present, whose strength, wisdom, and leadership continue to guide us.

At 360 Health + Community, reconciliation is not just a week on the calendar — it’s at the heart of who we are and why we exist. We’re here to support the physical health, mental health and social wellbeing of all people in our community. That means honouring the strength, resilience, and cultural richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledging the ongoing impact of injustice, discrimination, and dispossession.

Reconciliation is a journey. One that asks us to listen deeply, act with integrity, and walk together toward a better future - Now More Than Ever.

This week, let’s learn, let’s reflect and let’s celebrate the world’s oldest living cultures and recommit to the path of truth, healing, and unity.

Now more than ever, reconciliation matters.

Big love to all the mums, step-mums, grandmas, aunties, carers, and mother figures who give so much of themselves to others, often without asking for anything in return.

Thank you for the hugs, the pep talks, the packed lunches, and all the ways you show up with love (even when you're running on empty).

We appreciate everything you do, and we hope today brings you a moment to feel just how loved you are.

From all of us at 360 Health + Community — thank you for being the superheroes that you are. 💖
