Flu vaccines have arrived! 💉

Protect yourself and your loved ones this season by getting vaccinated early—don’t wait until the peak hits.

While you’re here, take the opportunity to book your health assessment at the same time if you are due. It’s a simple step to stay on top of your overall health.

Appointments are now open.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, but the encouraging news is that it is **highly treatable when detected early**.

Through the **National Bowel Cancer Screening Program**, Australians aged **50–74** receive a free home screening kit in the mail every two years. The test is simple, can be done at home, and could potentially save your life.

Many people delay doing the test because they feel well or think it isn’t urgent — but screening is designed for people **without symptoms**. Detecting early changes can prevent cancer from developing or allow treatment at a much earlier stage.

If you have received your kit and haven’t completed it yet, this is a good time to do it.

If you have any questions about bowel cancer screening or bowel symptoms, please speak with your doctor.

**Your health matters. Early detection saves lives.**
