Why is screening important?

Bowel cancer can develop without noticeable symptoms — but early detection can save lives.

🔎 Watch for early signs like:
• Blood in your poo or toilet bowl
• Changes in toilet habits (looser stools, constipation, more frequent poos)
• Stomach pain
• Fatigue
• Unexpected weight loss

💬 Speak to your GP today about bowel cancer screening. It’s quick, simple – and it could save your life.

For more information please visit https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/national-bowel-cancer-screening-program/doing-a-bowel-screening-test or speak with your GP today

Check if you're eligible for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program and learn about the screening process. Find out how to do the home test and understand what your test results mean.

SOCIAL MEDIA BAN UNDER 16s

🧑‍👧 Support & resources — you’re not alone

If you, your child or someone you care for feels confused, anxious or lost because of these changes — you’re not alone, and support is out there.

✅ Official resources & helplines: many are unaffected by the ban and still available.
✅ Healthy alternatives: encourage offline friendship, physical activity, creative hobbies, regular sleep. Small habits make a big difference.
✅ Reach out: as a local clinic, we offer guidance, mental-health chat, referrals if needed.

Let’s work together to support our young people through this change — with understanding, care and open communication.

From 10 December 2025, many social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australians under 16 have accounts.

SOCIAL MEDIA BAN UNDER 16s

⚠️ What to watch out for — how to navigate the change

With this big shift, there are important things for families to know:

Under-16s may lose access to accounts — encourage them to save important data (contacts, photos) before December 10.

Not all online services are banned. Messaging apps, online-gaming platforms, and certain educational or support services remain available.

Even if social media is limited, young people still need connection — through family, friends, hobbies, in-person socialising.

If you notice signs of distress: withdrawal, mood changes, sleep issues — these could hint that the change is affecting them emotionally. We are here to help.

Tip for parents & carers: Use this as an opportunity to talk with your child — not just about limiting screen time, but about replacing it with meaningful, healthy connection.

From 10 December 2025, many social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australians under 16 have accounts.

SOCIAL MEDIA BAN UNDER 16s

🤝 It’s not all black & white — social media has pros too

We recognise that social media isn’t always harmful. For many young people — especially those who may feel isolated or different — online spaces can provide connection, peer support, identity expression, community, and a sense of belonging.

The goal of the new age-restriction laws isn’t to stigmatise social media — but to protect under-16s from design features that can exploit young users who aren’t yet equipped to navigate them.

As a clinic, we encourage balanced, thoughtful discussion within families:

What social media offers (connection, friendship, learning, self-expression)

What the risks are (overuse, mental health stress, sleep or privacy issues)

How to find safe, healthy alternatives (offline hobbies, face-to-face connection, creative outlets).

From 10 December 2025, many social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australians under 16 have accounts.
