🎗️ June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️

Each week, 101 Australians lose their lives to bowel cancer — yet it's one of the most treatable cancers when detected early.

💙 Especially during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, we’re reminded that early detection saves lives. A simple screening test could save your life or that of someone you love.

At Westmead Rehabilitation Hospital, we’re proud to offer a specialised Cancer Rehabilitation Program — a multidisciplinary approach tailored to support individuals at any stage of their cancer journey: before, during, or after treatment.
Our goal? To restore function, enhance quality of life, and empower you to live well. 💪

About the Program
Led by our expert Allied Health team, this 6-week group program runs twice a week for 2–3 hours and includes:
✅ Personalised exercise
✅ Education on energy conservation, stress, sleep, and nutrition
✅ Connection and support in a small group environment
✅ Guidance on accessing community support services

Contact us today for support.

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to reflect on our shared history, learn from the truths of the past, and commit to building a future grounded in respect, equity, and unity.

This year’s theme, “Now More Than Ever,” is a powerful reminder that the journey toward reconciliation is ongoing—and that every voice, every action, and every commitment matters. It calls on us to stand up for justice, to amplify First Nations voices, and to walk together toward a more inclusive and compassionate Australia.

Reconciliation is not a single moment—it’s a movement. And it belongs to all of us.

Did you know that Parkinson’s is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders worldwide? In Australia, 38 people are diagnosed every day. With over 200,000 living with the condition, raising awareness is more important than ever.
Parkinson’s affects movement, balance, and daily life. While there’s no cure yet, early intervention, exercise, and research are making a real impact.

Fun Fact: Parkinson’s is more prevalent than many cancers in Australians over 50, and 5 Australians under 40 are diagnosed every day.

This month, let’s make a difference by:
✅ Learning about Parkinson’s
✅ Supporting research and advocacy
✅ Getting involved in local events or fundraisers
For those seeking support, Westmead Rehabilitation Hospital offers a specialised Parkinson’s program. Please call for more information. 💙

Together, we can offer support, share knowledge, and bring hope. 💙 Let’s make a difference – one step at a time.
