October 20 2025 is World Osteoporosis Day

Osteoporosis can be silent until you experience a painful fracture with minimal or no trauma.

Looking after your bone density requires:
1. Adequate calcium intake equivalent to three serves of dairy food each day
2. Adequate vitamin D (in Tas many of us need a daily supplement)
3. Regular resistance exercise

Use the Know Your Bones online self-assessment is an easy first step to review risk factors for poor bone health: knowyourbones.org.au

See your GP to talk about your bone density and arrange a bone desity scan.

Thursday 9 October 2025 is Headspace Day, with a focus on youth mental health.

The theme is “make space”. Make space to:
- be yourself
- pause, reflect and connect

We encourage young people to make space for the things that matter to our mental health and wellbeing.

It’s not about doing more, it’s about carving out time for what makes a difference in your life, no matter how big or small.

Whatever it looks like, your mental health and wellbeing matters enough to make space for it.

WILD SHELLFISH ALERT | Do not eat wild shellfish from Great Bay - Bruny Island.

This is in response to elevated levels of biotoxins in shellfish.

Wild (or recreationally) harvested shellfish should not be eaten from this area because the biotoxins are harmful to humans.

Wild shellfish include oysters, mussels, clams, pipis, cockles, wedge shells, abalone, periwinkles and scallop roe.

The intestines and livers (tomalley) of rock lobster can also be affected when toxic algal blooms are present.

Asthma Review

Did you know that the guidelines for asthma management changed, and using a reliever such as Salbutamol (Ventolin or Asmol) or Terbutaline (Bricanyl) alone, without other inhaled medication in place, it’s no longer recommended?

We now know that people who are using a short acting reliever like Ventolin as-needed, without an inhaled corticosteroid, are at increased of severe life-threatening asthma and nasty complications.

To ensure the best up-to-date asthma care we recommend that people of all ages living with asthma attend an Asthma Review appointment with their GP at least once a year.

At your Asthma Review appointment:
- You’ll see your GP and the Practice Nurse.
- We’ll assess your current symptoms with an ACQ-5 questionnaire.
- Free (bulk-billed) lung function testing can be arranged, if needed.
- Your GP will make sure you are receiving the most up-to-date, evidenced based, asthma management and that you have an up-to-date Chronic Condition Management Plan in place.

In the meantime, check whether you’re using your current inhaler correctly with these short videos from the National Asthma Council:
