Ugh, headaches we all get them! 😮‍💨 But do you know what your headache might be telling you? 🤔

Take a walk outside in the fresh air ☀️
Have a drink of water 💧
Stretch your neck muscles 💪

Don’t leave your mark at the pool this summer!

Before you take a dip, take a moment to think of others:
🏊Don’t swim if you have diarrhoea
🚫 If you are unsure of the cause of your diarrhoea, wait at least 48 hours after symptoms stop before jumping in the pool

Even a tiny trace of diarrhoea can spread easily through pool water and make other swimmers sick.

The holidays are a wonderful but often very busy time ☀️📅
Between preparations, family time and social plans, it’s normal to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Here are a few simple tips to help you keep balanced and enjoy the celebrations.

With high temperatures forecast across Victoria over the next few days, it is important to stay vigilant and take precautions in the heat to keep you, your loved ones, and your pets safe.🌡️

The conditions may trigger an increase in heat-related illness and a flare up of pre-existing medical conditions in the community.🔥

To stay safe in the heat:

💦 Drink plenty of water and keep a drink bottle on hand

🏬 Spend as much time as possible in cool or air-conditioned buildings (shopping centres, libraries, cinemas or community centres)

🗓️ Plan ahead and schedule activities for the coolest part of the day

🏖️ If heading outdoors, avoid exercising in the heat, seek shade when possible, and wear a hat, sunscreen, and long-sleeved protective clothing

💙 Look after those most vulnerable – your neighbour living alone, the elderly, the young, people with a medical condition, and of course, your pets!

If you’re feeling a bit MEH-ry Christmas this year, we get it. Not everyone jingles all the way and that’s okay. For some of us, Christmas hits different: quieter, heavier, or just… complicated.

The holidays can be joyful, but they can also be tough. New diagnoses. Empty chairs. Big changes. Quiet houses.

Whether you’re adjusting to a new diagnosis, missing someone you love, or spending the season solo, you’re not alone. Whatever you’re carrying, your feelings matter.

Having friends, family, or even small connections can be powerful for your health and wellbeing. But remember: being alone doesn’t automatically mean you’re lonely, and feeling lonely doesn’t mean you’re truly alone.

Share this to remind someone they’re seen, or tag a friend who makes your holidays brighter just with their presents (see what we did there).

If you are struggling these holidays, help isn't too far away, and Victoria has a range of mental health support services, some are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These services can provide treatment, information, tools and advice on how to deal with a range of mental health issues.

With the end of year celebrations fast approaching, it can be hard to turn down alcohol at social events.

You might choose to cut down or put down the drink:

👩‍⚕️For your health
🌄 Because of an early morning start
🚗 To drive others or yourself home
🤮 Because it doesn’t make you feel good
🌃 Simply to have a night off

Whether you’re deciding to cut down or cut out alcohol, our tips below can help.

Sniffly nose? Itchy eyes?
It could be hay fever… or it could be a cold. 🤧

The symptoms often overlap, making it tricky to tell them apart.

Save this post so you're not guessing next time your eyes start itching!

“According to all known laws of aviation…”

Okay, maybe not – but according to the pollen count, it’s officially that time of year: allergy season 🤧

High grass pollen + certain thunderstorms = a dangerous mix. If you’ve got asthma, hay fever can make it more difficult to control, and thunderstorm asthma is a real risk.

If you’re feeling like Barry B. Benson stuck in a field of flowers, here’s how you can keep your hay fever or allergies in check (or at least bee-have through the season):

🏠 High-pollen day? Treat it like a horror movie villain. Don’t go outside unless you absolutely have to. (The daily pollen forecast = your spoiler alert).

🚪 Hive rules apply. Keep the windows shut in the house, in the car – keep the pollen party outside where it belongs.

😎 Sunglasses are not just a fashion statement. They’re anti-pollen armour for your eyeballs.

🚿 Honey, wash it off. Shower after being outside before those pollen freeloaders turn your body into a hive Airbnb.

💊 Bee prepared. Antihistamines and nasal sprays can help prevent your nose and throat feeling like a buzzsaw.

So, if your hay fever or asthma symptoms feel like courtroom drama straight out of the Bee Movie, it’s time to call in the real expert – your doctor.
