👁️ It’s JulEYE – National Eye Health Awareness Month 👁️

This month, we’re proud to support JulEYE, a national campaign raising awareness about the importance of eye health, early detection, and preventing avoidable vision loss.

We’d like to give a big thank you to our incredible ophthalmologists and dedicated ophthalmic surgical nursing teams. Your expertise, care, and commitment help protect the gift of sight every day.

💙 From working closely with GPs and optometrists to delivering advanced surgical care, your impact on patients' lives is something to celebrate.

🔍 Why it matters?
Up to 75% of vision loss is preventable or treatable with regular eye checks.

👓 Protect your vision:
• Book your eye test this July
• Wear UV-blocking sunglasses
• Use protective eyewear for DIY projects
• Follow the 20‑20‑20 rule for screen time
• Eat a healthy, eye-friendly diet
• Quit smoking

This JulEYE, let’s look after our eyes—and thank the amazing teams who do just that every day.

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.
