🚨 FLU CASES AT A 5-YEAR HIGH! 🚨
It's NOT too late to get your flu shot! πŸ’‰

This year's flu season has hit harder than ever β€” the highest number of cases, at this time of year, that we've seen in five years. 😷
We're seeing more people off work, more hospitalisations, and more serious illness than usual.

Remember: Influenza isn't just a bad cold.
It can cause high fever, exhaustion, muscle aches, and lead to serious complications β€” especially for older adults, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions.

πŸ’ͺ The best protection? Vaccination.
We still have plenty of flu vaccines in stock, and you can get yours today!

βœ… Protect yourself and your loved ones
βœ… Stay healthy through the rest of the season
βœ… Quick, safe, and effective

πŸ“ž Call us or drop in β€” don't wait until it's too late!

πŸ§ πŸ’œ World Alzheimer's Day - 21st September πŸ’œπŸ§ 
"Never forget those who can't remember."

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, impacting memory, thinking, and behaviour. It's a progressive condition that not only affects individuals but also deeply touches families, friends, and carers.

πŸ“Š Over 400,000 Australians are living with dementia β€” many of them with Alzheimer's.
And every year, thousands of new cases are diagnosed.

On World Alzheimer's Day, we stand together to:
βœ… Raise awareness
βœ… Fight stigma
βœ… Encourage early diagnosis
βœ… Support carers and families

πŸ’¬ If you or someone you love is experiencing memory changes or confusion, don't wait.

Together, we can create a more dementia-friendly community. πŸ’œ

πŸ§ πŸ’™ Dementia Action Week - 15-21 September
Theme: Nobody can do it alone

Dementia doesn't just affect the person living with the condition β€” it touches their carers, family, friends, and entire social networks.

➑️ An estimated 433,300 Australians live with dementia
➑️ Over 1.7 million people are involved in their care
Yet, many find that friends and family drift away, unsure how to stay connected.

This week, we're encouraging everyone to:
🀝 Reach out. Reconnect. Be present.

A simple conversation, visit, or call can mean so much.

If you're concerned about memory changes or need support with a dementia diagnosis, we're here to help.

πŸ’™ Prostate Cancer Awareness Month πŸ’™

Did you know 1 in 5 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime?

It's now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men over 50 β€” with 3,000 lives lost every year. Shockingly, only 36% are detected at Stage 1, when survival rates are at their highest (up to 96% if caught early).

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘¦ Do you have a husband, father, brother or son who hasn't had a check-up lately?
A simple blood test could save their life.

πŸ‘‰ Encourage them to speak with their GP today.

Early detection matters. Let's talk about it. πŸ’¬

It's National Stroke Week!

Know the signs and you could save a life:
When a stroke strikes, it attacks up to 1.9 million brain cells per minute so acting quickly is crucial and it starts with knowing the F.A.S.T. signs.

If you suspect someone is having a stroke, think F.A.S.T. and ask these questions:
Face: Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
Arms: Can they lift both arms?
Speech: Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
Time is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.
