EnAccess Maps: An app developed by University of Melbourne students making dining out a smooth experience for people living with a disability. It was founded in 2021 by Uni of Melbourne student Sabrina Leung and it aims to connect people with accessible restaurants and other venues. When you open the app, you can specify your venue (e.g. restaurant, library, etc.), the location and accessibility requirements. The app then provides a list of venues near you that match these preferences. The app provides a variety of different filters so you can tailor your accessibility preferences to you, for example, bathroom availability, movement space, step-free access and parking. The team works alongside different disability service providers Australia-wide who assist with data collection. EnAccess is a free service available to all and is currently focused on the Melbourne area, but the team hope to expand globally one day, with University of Melbourne student volunteers going out each month to vet venues. They currently have 700 venues logged and will continue to expand.

This week is NAIDOC Week!

NAIDOC Week is celebrated every year during the first week of July and it looks to celebrate the culture, achievements and history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and also provides all Australians the opportunity to learn more about First Nations cultures.

The theme for this year is 'The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy'. After already holding a 50-year legacy of NAIDOC, the 2025 theme looks to acknowledge and celebrate not only the accomplishments of the past, but also the promising future ahead—driven by the strength of our young leaders, communities, and the enduring legacy of our ancestors.

How are you celebrating NAIDOC Week this year? 👇

Yesterday, Monday the 9th of June, was the start of Men's Health Week.

Men's Health Week began in 1994 in the USA and is now recognised internationally every year! The week seeks to highlight and advocate for the state of men's health and how health policy and practice should be shaped and changed.

In Australia, since 2002, The Australian Men’s Health Forum (AMHF) is a great advocate for Men's Health Week. Also, this year, the Centre for Male Health at Western Sydney University and Healthy Male have launched a joint campaign for Men's Health Week - 'See Your GP'. This campaign looks towards health advice for men and encouraging men to book a GP appointment when needed to get the right health advice.

The AMHF have listed a variety of events on their website that are being hosted all over Australia, to get people involved and spread the message of Men's Health Week!
