Michaela, Glen and Jess attended the Griffith Aunty Jean's group today at Griffith TAFE to run our Beat the Boondah program.

We had a great yarn about smoking and how it has changed over the years and va**ng & the effects it is having on our communities now.

We also played a game of Smoking BINGO! It was a deadly program.

Sun safety doesn’t stop 🌞

We loved being able to donate bucket hats to Community Kids Daycare, helping keep the little ones sun safe during outdoor play. Small moments like this help build healthy habits early and support our community 💛

Slip, slop, slap, seek shade and slide on sunnies 😎

A lovely little trip out to Lake Wyangan with our Minhi Mingaan Women’s Group on Friday 💛🌿

We spent the time gathering natural resources for making outfits, coming together for a yarn and a feed and just enjoying each other’s company.

To top it all off, we were greeted by some special visitors at the end of the day, two dinawans came over to say hello. A special little moment to wrap up our outing 🥰✨

Did you know STIs are more common than you think? 👀

Getting tested regularly is just part of looking after yourself and your mob.

Regular testing helps you:
✔️ maintain good sexual health
✔️ prevent the spread of STIs, including syphilis
✔️ make sure infections are picked up and treated early

The tricky thing is, STIs often don’t show symptoms. You can still pass one on even if you feel completely fine, or after symptoms have cleared.

If you’re due to get checked, simply call Reception on 69620000 and book in with one of our GPs or ask for a 715 Health Check. Easy as 🩷
