📣 MPOX OUTBREAK in WA 📣

There has been an increase in locally acquired cases, including people who have not previously been considered at high-risk of mpox.

Anyone who is s*xually active and experiencing mpox symptoms is encouraged to get tested.

People who are s*xually active should be aware of symptoms. Anyone who thinks they may be at high-risk, including those who attend s*x parties or s*x-on-premises venues, should speak to their clinician about getting vaccinated.

If you have a ge***al lesion, you should consider whether it could possibly be mpox – if you are unsure, call HealthDirect on 1800 022 222 or our Sexual Health Helpline on 9227 6178 from 9.30am Tuesday.

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

First Nations people have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long. All In makes it clear that there is a role for everyone in reconciliation. We all need to take action to advance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights and to build an equitable and reconciled Australia.

Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.

To find out more about NRW and what events are on, visit reconciliation.org.au

The campaign was created in collaboration with Carbon Creative, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency.

The artwork for this campaign is by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey, who applied his distinctive style to create a colourful and optimistic visual representation of people from all walks of life being ‘all in’ to make change.
