Getting vaccinated not only protects you, but it also protects your grandparents from serious illness and means you don’t miss out on precious moments together.

Skip the paper trail. An electronic prescription is a digital version of a paper prescription, giving you a safe and convenient way to manage your medicines.

Next time you need a prescription, you can ask your healthcare provider to send it as an electronic prescription or have it added to your Active Script List.

You can also manage your electronic prescription tokens using the 1800MEDICARE app, making it easier to keep everything in one place.

Powerful meet up today for our very first meet up in Young 🙌🏼.

Thanks to all the men who made the trip from Wagga and those who attended from Young.

There were some amazing conversations had today about the hard stuff, blokes removed stigma and were open and honest about what they were experiencing.

Connection is so important for our wellbeing and several times men connected with each others journeys, with someone’s share paving the way for someone else’s who could relate to them.

Big thanks to all who helped organise the day and for those businesses in Young who donated and got behind the event - Boys to the Bush, Donges Super IGA, Woolfords Plumbing and Gas, WD’s Quality Cuts Butchers and PCYC Young.

Our next meet up will be on the 12th of April at the Tolland Community Centre. Hope to see you there 👌🏼.

🧠 Mental illness doesn’t discriminate 🧠

This World Bipolar Day, we’re reminding our community that behind the surface, people may be navigating challenges we can’t see.

Bipolar disorder doesn’t care how old you are, what you do for work, how successful you seem, or how “together” your life looks.
It can affect anyone.

Let’s continue to:
💬 Talk openly
💜 Challenge stigma
🤝 Support one another

If you or someone you know needs support, you’re always welcome at Young Medicare Mental Health Centre.
