🫁 Free Lung Cancer Screening — Early Detection Could Save Lives

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is now available for eligible people aged 50-70.

When found early, over 65% of lung cancers can be successfully treated.

If you're aged 50-70, with no signs or symptoms of lung cancer and are currently smoking or have recently quit, you may be eligible for a free scan.

📞 Call and speak with one of our nurses to discuss whether you may be eligible for screening.

We have free condoms available at the Centre, and our Nurses are available for asymptomatic STI screening via appointment or walk-in. They’re also here to support you over the phone if you have any questions or concerns (08) 94310500.

💛 April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month 💛

Adenomyosis is a condition where tissue from the lining of the uterus grows into the muscle of the uterus — often causing severe pain, heavy periods, fatigue, and ongoing discomfort. Yet, it remains widely misunderstood and under-recognised.

This April, we’re supporting the movement to help raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage earlier diagnosis and better care.

✨ Awareness leads to diagnosis. Action leads to better care.

You can get involved by:
💛 Learning the signs and symptoms
💛 Starting conversations and sharing information
💛 Supporting those living with adenomyosis
💛 Using and sharing awareness resources

🔗 QENDO: https://www.qendo.org.au/adenomyosis

Let’s work together to ensure no one feels alone or unheard.

STIs are on the rise – let’s talk about it.

Recent data shows an increase in s*xually transmitted infections (STIs), but the good news is that many STIs are preventable and treatable when detected early.

Practicing safe s*x and getting regular s*xual health checks are simple ways to protect yourself and your partners.

✔ Use condoms or other protection
✔ Get tested regularly – especially with new or multiple partners
✔ Don’t ignore symptoms – seek medical advice early
✔ Remember: many STIs have no symptoms, so testing is important

The Australian Government’s Before Play campaign is helping to break down stigma and encourage open conversations about s*xual health.

👉 Check out their STI Myth Buster video to separate fact from fiction and learn how to protect yourself and others.

Looking after your s*xual health is an important part of your overall wellbeing. If you’re due for a check-up, consider booking a s*xual health test with one of our Nurses.

If you have any questions or to make an appointment, please call us on (08) 9431 0500.

Testing is quick, confidential, and helps keep our community healthy.

This animation debunks common myths surrounding STIs and s*xual health.
