Winter brings its comforts - a warm room, a hot cuppa, a cozy blanket.
But staying warm should never come at the cost of safety.

From heater tips to bedtime habits and what to do in an emergency, here are a few gentle reminders to help you and your loved ones stay fire safe at home.

Because peace of mind is just as important as staying warm. 💛

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,” celebrates the power of First Nations youth—their voices, their leadership, and the legacy they carry forward.

It’s a time to reflect on the strength of those who came before, and to stand beside the next generation as they shape a future grounded in culture, truth, and connection.

One way to engage locally is through the G*i Mariagal Festival, running until 13 July across the Northern Beaches and North Shore. With a free and diverse lineup of performances, exhibitions, and community events, it’s a beautiful opportunity to honour Country and celebrate culture.
