🎉 We were proud to be a Delegate Sponsor at this week’s Australian Vascular Access Society (AVAS) Scientific Meeting in Wollongong!

It was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, forge new connections, and showcase how NeedleCalm is supporting clinicians and patients in creating calmer, safer needle procedures.

A huge congratulations to John from ICU Medical, who took out the title for Best Veins over the two days! A true champion—needle-averse yet a regular blood donor. Legends like John remind us why we do what we do 💉👏

💛 A special thank you to Rob Gourlay from EvoMed for generously lending us the incredible Accuvein machine—a real crowd favourite—and to Kirstie from The Starfish Store for providing the most-wanted sensory accessories of the year: the Golden Turtle, Jellyfish Lamp, and the always-popular Pea Pod. These tools made a big impact in showing just how effective a calm, sensory-friendly environment can be.

Thank you again to the AVAS team for hosting such a valuable and inspiring event. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year!

Feeling anxious about an upcoming needle procedure? You’re not alone — and you’re not powerless. 💪🧠

Here are 4 simple steps that can help calm your nerves and build confidence:

1. Name the Fear 📝
What’s really bothering you — the pain? A past experience? The feeling of being out of control?
Jot it down. Giving your fear a name is the first step to managing it.

2. Validate Your Feelings 💬
Needle fear is real, and it’s normal.
What you’re feeling matters — and acknowledging that is key to making progress.

3. Talk It Out 👥
Fear grows in silence.
Open up to someone you trust — a friend, family member, GP, or even a psychologist who specialises in phobias.
(P.S. You can get a referral through your GP for Medicare-covered sessions.)

4. Start Small, Go Gentle 🌱
Tiny steps lead to big change. Try:
• Looking at photos of a needle in a safe space
• Touching a syringe (no needle attached!)
• Gently desensitising the skin where the procedure will happen

Each positive experience helps your brain rewire for calm.

✨ Remember: Progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up for yourself — one small win at a time.

Head to our website for more calming strategies and resources.

🎯 Needle Fear? Try Our 4 Favourite Hacks!

Feeling a little nervy about needles? You're not alone—and we’ve got your back.

Here are our top tips to help make things a whole lot easier:
🩺 1. Say hi before you say ouch!
Pop in and meet your healthcare provider. They’re flat out (and superheroes, really), but they’ll appreciate you calling ahead to find the best time to chat and help ease your nerves.

🌬️ 2. Breathe like a Navy SEAL
Box breathing = game changer. Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. It’s calming, grounding, and yes, used by actual Navy SEALs.
(Just remember: deep breaths, not deep dives.)

🤝 3. Bring the right kind of support
Make sure your support buddy isn’t just there for moral backup—but also doesn’t have a bigger needle fear than you (you’d be surprised how often this happens!). Snacks and smiles = mandatory.

🎉 4. Celebrate like a champ
Plan a reward—whether it’s a donut, a dance party, or a guilt-free Netflix binge. You've earned it!
✨ And the ultimate hack?

💡 Small, positive, repeated experiences. Every calm moment adds up.

📚 Head to our website for more tips, tricks and tools.
(P.S. Don’t forget to plan your distraction & pain relief strategy too!)
