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

This year's flu season has hit harder than ever — 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 — especially for older adults, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions.

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

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

📞 Call us or drop in — don't wait until it's too late!

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

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

It's now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men over 50 — 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).

A simple blood test could save their life.

👉 Encourage them to speak with their GP today.

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.
