As we hit the mid-year mark, now is a great time to check that your child’s immunisations are up to date — especially if they’re enrolled in school, preschool, kindy, or childcare.

The National Immunisation Program (NIP) provides free vaccines at key milestones, including:
• 6 weeks
• 4 months
• 6 months
• 12 months
• 18 months
• 4 years

It’s National Diabetes Week and did you know diabetes is Australia’s fastest growing chronic condition?

• One Aussie develops diabetes every 5 minutes.
• Over 1.9 million Australians are living with the condition — many without even knowing.
• It’s a leading cause of heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, amputations… and death.

Your GP can help you manage risk factors like weight, diet, inactivity, and blood pressure — before it’s too late.

While some risk factors like age or family history can’t be changed, many others can — including weight, diet, and physical activity.
💡 Losing even 5–10% of your body weight can significantly reduce your risk.
🥗 Eating balanced meals and staying active for just 30 minutes a day can make a big difference.

📅 Book your diabetes risk check with your GP today and create a plan that works for you.
