๐Ÿ’‰ World Immunisation Week 2026 โ€“ 24 to 30 April ๐Ÿ’‰

World Immunisation Week is held each year in the last week of April, celebrating the life-saving impact of vaccines and encouraging people of all ages to protect themselves and their communities.

Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives โ€” thatโ€™s around 6 lives every minute. These everyday decisions by parents, families, and health professionals have led to a 40% improvement in infant survival and prevented lifelong disability for millions of children.

This yearโ€™s theme, โ€œFor every generation, vaccines workโ€, highlights how immunisation continues to safely protect people across all stages of life while shaping a healthier future for everyone.

If you have questions about your vaccinations or your familyโ€™s immunisation schedule, our team is here to help. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒบ Anzac Day 2026 ๐ŸŒบ

Tomorrow, we pause to reflect and remember the courage, sacrifice, and spirit of all those who have served and protected our country. We honour the men and women we have lost, and those who continue to serve today.

Anzac Day, observed on 25 April, is one of Australiaโ€™s most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

We remember their bravery, their mateship, and the legacy they have left behind.

Lest we forget ๐ŸŒบ

โ˜€๏ธ What is Melanoma? โ˜€๏ธ

Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that starts in the cells that give your skin its colour. While less common, itโ€™s the most dangerous because it can spread quickly if not detected early.

In Queensland, itโ€™s one of the most common cancers in both men and women.

๐Ÿ‘€ What to look for:
While assessing your skin, you can follow the ABCDE guide (see photo below) to help identify warning signs. If you notice any changes, please let us know and have one of our skin doctors check it for you. When in doubt, always get it checked.

๐Ÿ” Main types of Melanoma's:
โ€ข Superficial spreading โ€“ most common, slow-growing at first
โ€ข Nodular โ€“ fast-growing and more aggressive
โ€ข Lentigo maligna โ€“ develops on sun-damaged skin over time
โ€ข Acral lentiginous โ€“ found on palms, soles, or under nails (rare)
โ€ข Desmoplastic โ€“ firm, scar-like and uncommon

๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters:
Early detection greatly improves treatment success.
