Today, 18 February, marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset. They refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and va**ng. They break their fast at sunset with a meal called Iftar and then eat a pre-dawn meal called Suhoor.

Ramadan is about purifying the mind, body and soul, and practising self-restraint. It brings people together, with a focus on helping those less fortunate with generosity and kindness.

During Ramadan, here are 5 tips to keep you healthy:

* Eat a balanced diet
* Drink enough water
* Stay off to***co and va**ng
* Keep out of the heat when fasting
* Be active

For more information visit https://www.emro.who.int/media/media-events/ramadan-2026.html

And remember - take care of yourself and others.

Keep your energy and focus flowing throughout the workday with fresh tap water.

Keeping a glass of water within reach is an easy way to remind yourself to stay hydrated and drink more water throughout the day.

Looking after each other starts before we travel.

If you’re heading overseas for Easter or Eid-ul-Fitr, talk to your doctor about recommended travel vaccines, as some countries have entry requirements and recommendations can vary.

It’s a simple step that helps keep celebrations joyful—and communities safe.

Shots… with bubbles! ✨

Getting vaccinated doesn’t have to be serious — just ask the amazing team at South Gippsland Shire Council 💚

The friendly vaccination nurses are delivering free Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccines for eligible adults aged 20–59, and they’re doing it with smiles, support… and even a few bubbles along the way!

If you were born between 1966 and 1992, you may have only had one measles vaccine as a child. Two doses are needed for full protection — and if you’re not sure how many you’ve had, it’s safe to get another.

📍 Free MMR vaccines are available through participating Council immunisation clinics and pharmacies across Gippsland.

🌊Strong partnerships, healthy communities

The Gippsland Region Public Health Unit was proud to work alongside Gippsland Lakes Complete Health (GLCH), the Tackling Indigenous Smoking (TIS) Team and Headspace at the Indigenous Surf Carnival at Cape Conran, hosted by Surfing Victoria.

Together, teams supported health and wellbeing in culturally safe and engaging ways:
* The TIS Team shared education and resources around reducing to***co-related harm
* GRPHU and GLCH encouraged active living and healthy eating with a hands-on smoothie bike
* Headspace provided a shaded, calm space with giant games and a relaxed chill-out zone for participants to rest and recharge

Events like this show the value of collaboration in supporting community health — meeting people where they are and making wellbeing accessible, fun and inclusive.

Earlier last month, GRPHU’s South Coast team also attended the Indigenous Surf Carnival Day in Inverloch, alongside other agencies, with Ambulance Victoria on site. The team welcomed the opportunity to connect and support community on the day as part of the broader Surfing Victoria–led event.

Thank you to everyone involved for creating welcoming, active and supportive spaces across Gippsland.
