This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re shining a light on something many experience, but not everyone talks about.

🧠 1 in 5 Australians aged 16–85 have lived with a mental health condition.¹ That’s millions of people, friends, family, colleagues, you or me.

If you're finding things tough right now, please remember:
You're not failing. You're feeling, and that’s human.

You don’t have to go through it alone.
✨ Speaking up can open doors to healing.
✨ Asking for help is brave, not weak.
✨ Support is out there and it can make a real difference.

If you or someone you know needs support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.

Think you can get pregnant any day of your cycle? Not quite, and you're not alone in thinking that!
Let’s clear it up 👇

The fertile window is the short time in your cycle when pregnancy can happen, and it’s only around six days long. That means you can only get pregnant during this window, though the exact days can vary cycle to cycle.

Understanding your fertile window can support:
✨ Pregnancy planning
✨ Natural contraception methods
✨ Cycle awareness

Knowledge is power when it comes to your body. 💗

Hi everyone,

We've been getting many enquiries regarding the new regulations for the COVID-19 booster doses.

In short, if you are over 18 years of age and your last vaccine or confirmed infection (whichever was the most recent) was over 6 months ago, you are eligible to get a booster if you want it regardless of the number of prior doses received.

The ATAGI recommendations for a 2023 COVID-19 vaccine booster dose for all age groups as per the table below:

ATAGI advises that a booster dose is not recommended at this time for children and adolescents aged under the age of 18 who do not have any risk factors for severe COVID-19.

If you would like any further information you can give us a call on (03) 9568 1761 or speak to your GP.

For those wanting to get your COVID-19 booster dose at Hughesdale Pharmacy please book using the link below:

05/12/2022

Cervical screening involves a simple test to check for human papillomavirus (HPV) – a common infection that causes almost all cervical cancers – before it has the chance to develop into abnormal or cancerous cells.

There are two options for having a Cervical Screening Test. One option is to have a healthcare provider collect your sample from your cervix. The other option is to collect your own sample from your va**na.

If you are unsure about whether you have had the Cervical Screening Test or not, or whether you’re due for your screening, you should speak to your healthcare provider. Early detection could save your life.

If you don’t have a preferred doctor, healthdirect.gov.au can help you find a healthcare provider to book your test with.
