Carbon Monoxide Safety Reminder: Carbon monoxide can come from common sources such as BBQs, charcoal grills and briquettes, outdoor heaters, gas lanterns, petrol-powered tools like pressure washers, and engine exhausts from cars and boats.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, tiredness, fainting, confusion, and weakness. Prolonged exposure can lead to more serious effects such as seizures, loss of consciousness, permanent brain injury, or even death.

If you suspect carbon monoxide exposure, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 for advice. In an emergency, dial 000.

Do not expose yourself while helping others - move to fresh air first before calling for help. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic, so stay alert and take precautions.

NSW Health is reminding travellers to tropical holiday spots, including Fiji, Indonesia, and Thailand to protect themselves from mosquito bites.

Pregnant travellers and couples planning pregnancy are urged to take particular care as Mosquito-borne infections like Dengue, Zika and malaria can cause serious illness.

The risk of Zika virus to unborn babies can occur even when expecting parents do not have symptoms. If a pregnant woman is infected with Zika, it can be passed on to her baby.

It can cause serious birth defects in babies born to both mothers and fathers exposed to Zika during or even before pregnancy and it can also cause rare neurological conditions. Pregnancy should be avoided for six months after returning to places where Zika virus is circulating.

Dengue virus infections can affect people of all ages and in some cases, lead to serious symptoms requiring hospitalisation.

There are currently no known vaccines to protect against the Zika virus, or to prevent initial dengue virus infections, so it is important to reduce your risk of contracting these diseases by avoiding mosquito bites. Check if you need vaccines or malaria tablets.

Remember to spray up and cover up to protect yourself and your family from mozzies while traveling:
- wear loose, long-sleeved, light-coloured clothing and covered footwear and socks
- apply mosquito repellent evenly to all areas of exposed skin
- read instructions to find out how often you should reapply repellent
- always apply sunscreen first and then apply repellent.

Palliative care patients and their families will benefit from enhanced services, thanks to a $3 million investment in the NSW Government’s 2025-26 Budget.

As part of the Government’s commitment to World Class End of Life Care, Health Minister Ryan Park announced a new acute palliative care ward at Campbelltown Hospital will be established and the capacity of Camden Hospital’s palliative care will increase.

The new ward will support patients who may still be receiving treatment, but require immediate symptom management.

At Camden Hospital, the former maternity ward will be transformed into larger, modern spaces featuring renovated bathrooms, and other patient experience upgrades.
