🖐️ World Hand Hygiene Day
Clean hands save lives.

Hand hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of infection—both in healthcare settings and at home.

✔️ Before eating
✔️ After using the bathroom
✔️ After coughing or sneezing
✔️ When caring for someone unwell

According to the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, good hand hygiene is essential in reducing healthcare-associated infections and keeping patients safe.

Small habit. Big impact.

Flu season is here—and the good news is everyone can access a FREE flu vaccine in Queensland.

Here’s what you need to know 👇

✔️ 6 months+ – Free flu vaccine (injection)
✔️ Ages 2–5 – Eligible for a FREE needle-free nasal spray option

The nasal spray is a great alternative for little ones who don’t like needles—but outside this age group, the standard flu shot is used.

Protect yourself, your family, and our community this season 💙
