2.65 million Australians provide unpaid care for loved ones. Behind their compassion are real challenges: fewer work opportunities, higher financial strain, and postponed personal health needs. This National Carers Week is a call to ensure carers are supported, recognised, and cared for too.

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and taking time to check in with ourselves and others can make all the difference.

Start with yourself
Take a pause and ask: How am I feeling? What do I need right now? A small action, like a stretch, a deep breath, or a moment of stillness, can restore balance.

Connect with others
A call, a message, or time with someone you care about strengthens connection and supports wellbeing for both of you.

Keep in mind: Mental health isn’t one day a year, it grows when we make daily space for care and connection.

Cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death. Yet up to 80% of premature cases are preventable.

We often focus on risks like smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes. But one powerful factor is still underestimated: stress.

In our latest article, we explore this important topic — the hidden role of stress in heart health. Stress can trigger acute events and silently worsen long-term wellbeing, yet it continues to be overlooked.

This World Heart Day, let us change that together.

Stress is an under-recognised risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Discover why stress matters for heart health & what we can do about it.

R U OK? Day reminds us of the importance of one conversation sparked by a simple question. But in truth, there are two conversations that matter:

1. The one we start with others.

2. The one we have with ourselves.

Supporting others begins with supporting ourselves. In our latest blog, we share practical ways to prepare, start, and sustain supportive mental health conversations — and how to balance them with self-checks.

R U OK? Day reminds us of the importance of one conversation sparked by a simple question. But in truth, there are two conversations that matter:

1. The one we start with others.
2. The one we have with ourselves.

Supporting others begins with supporting ourselves. When we pause, notice, and care for our own wellbeing, we are able to show up with steadiness and compassion for those around us.

Last week, I had the pleasure of delivering a mini-workshop on The Science Behind a Resilient Mindset as part of Mindset for Success, hosted by Charles Darwin University and organised by the Haymarket Chamber of Commerce

Thank you to Vincent Lim, the HCC team, and Sascha Jenkins, PhD, GAICD, for making it possible. It was a pleasure to share the panel with

We explored:

• Why mindset is shaped by more than motivation, including stress, beliefs, and biology

• How chronic stress disrupts decision-making and focus

• Practical strategies to shift mental state and restore clarity

The audience was fantastic! Engaged, thoughtful, and curious throughout.

Grateful to Michael Thompson Photography for the photos, and to katewellnesscentre for helping capture some highlights from the session.
It is always encouraging to see small businesses supporting each other with generosity and professionalism.
