NAIDOC Week: Celebrating First Nations History, Culture & Achievements

NAIDOC Week is a significant time to honour the history, rich culture, and remarkable achievements of First Nations peoples - the oldest continuing cultures on Earth.

At Nexus Hospitals, we are proud to share the inspiring artwork Mawang (meaning ‘together’), created by Bundjalung artist Chloe Saddler, which is proudly displayed at our Pacific Private Hospital on the Gold Coast.

Chloe describes Mawang as a symbol of community and collaboration:

“The big circle in the middle represents the hospital community. The smaller circles represent the health professionals working in collaboration to help patients reach their optimal health. All the small dots represent the diverse range of people using Pacific Private as a healing space."

We sincerely thank Chloe for sharing her story and this meaningful artwork with Nexus, helping us to celebrate connection and healing.

Creating culturally safe and welcoming spaces across all our hospitals is central to our commitment to providing respectful, inclusive care. In the spirit of reconciliation, Nexus Hospitals honours and respects the First Nations peoples and their enduring connection to Country, community, and culture.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month – and today is Red Apple Day 🍎

Every week, bowel cancer claims the lives of 101 Australians—yet it's one of the most treatable cancers when detected early.

Early detection saves lives.

This week alone, 280 Australians will be diagnosed with bowel cancer. The risk increases with age but can affect people of all ages.

Let’s use this month as a reminder to:
✅ Trust your gut—don’t ignore symptoms
✅ Don’t delay your colonoscopy referral
✅ Stay active and eat a fiber-rich diet. Yes, apples help.🍏🍎
✅ Talk to your GP and encourage others to do the same
✅ Share the message—it could save a life

If you need a referral, our specialists are here to help. Head to our website for more information, or search the Nexus Hospitals national doctor directory below.

Our hospital proudly stands behind the men in our care, our teams, and our communities. Because men’s health matters every day of the week.

💚 Our commitment

Men’s Health Week is a time to reflect, raise awareness, and most importantly, act. This year’s theme, "Healthy Habits, Healthy Lives," is a timely reminder that small, proactive steps can make a big difference in long-term physical and mental health.

At Nexus Hospitals, we care deeply about the wellbeing of every individual patient, employee, and families alike. Men’s health matters. Too often, men delay seeking help or feel uncomfortable talking about their mental and physical health. It's time we change that together.

💙 Our Commitment at Nexus

•Providing access to confidential support through our EAP provider, TELUS Health.
• Encouraging regular health checks, preventive screenings, and open conversations around mental health.
• Supporting health-focused initiatives, such as Movember and wellness challenges
• Creating safe spaces where men can speak up, seek support, and know they’re not alone.

As healthcare professionals, we have the privilege and the responsibility to lead by example. Whether it’s taking time for your own health check, checking in on a colleague, or simply starting a conversation, these actions can create real impact.

To all the men in our Nexus community: your health matters. We see you; we support you, and we’re here for you.

Let’s continue to support one another not just this week, but every week.

Take care of yourself and each other.

Sustainability in Action at Nexus Hospitals 🌱

We’re proud to share that Corymbia Day Hospital has recently installed solar panels, joining a growing number of Nexus facilities embracing renewable energy. This marks a significant milestone in our commitment to more sustainable healthcare. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. A special thank you to landlord Mark Veselik for his generous support in helping us achieve this milestone for Corymbia Day Hospital.

Following our shift to fully renewable energy across many of our hospitals from January 2025, we are now taking the next step: reducing our demand on the electricity grid by generating clean energy on-site.

By installing solar systems at a site level, we’re:
🔋 Lowering energy costs
🏥 Improving each facility’s NABERS rating
🌞 Reducing reliance on traditional energy sources

We’re making the most of our existing roof space to produce reliable, clean power and we’re just getting started!

To deliver this initiative we have partnered with Agile Energy who will install, manage, and maintain solar systems across our sites.

This rollout at Corymbia Day Hospital is just the beginning. As we continue to invest in sustainable solutions, we remain focused on actions that support the long-term wellbeing of our people, patients, and the communities we serve.

Observed every year on March 30, this day is a powerful reminder of the remarkable contributions doctors make—not only in treating illness, but in building trust, guiding care, and strengthening the bonds between healthcare providers and patients.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the incredible doctors who dedicate their lives to caring for others—not just within our hospital, but across our entire national provider network.

World Glaucoma Week 2025: Protect Your Vision 👁️

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. It damages the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. Often called the silent thief of sight, it gradually steals vision—often without symptoms until it’s too late. But together, we can fight for sight, raise awareness, and protect vision across our life span.

Across our national hospital network, we work with leading specialist ophthalmologists who are transforming the way glaucoma is diagnosed and treated, offering innovative solutions to preserve vision and improve patient outcomes. Early detection, advanced treatments, and patient advocacy are key to successfully managing glaucoma and preventing irreversible sight loss.

✳️ Early detection is key—regular eye checks can help detect glaucoma before significant vision loss occurs.

✳️ Be your own advocate—stay informed, ask questions of your health care providers, and encourage loved ones to prioritise their eye health.

✳️ Raise awareness—By sharing knowledge and stories, we can empower others to act.

Join us this World Glaucoma Week 2025 in spreading awareness and ensuring that sight is protected for all.
