On 4 February, we’re acknowledging World Cancer Day, and the theme “United by Unique”, which recognises that every person’s cancer experience is different – and that care works best when it’s shaped around each individual.

Cancer is more than a medical diagnosis – it’s deeply personal. Behind every diagnosis is a unique story of grief, pain, healing, resilience, love and so much more. Person-centred care means listening, communicating clearly and responding with compassion – it leads to a better experience and better outcomes for all.

Every experience with cancer is unique – and in honour of that we decided to share some of the amazing feedback that our community has given our Cancer Service. United, we look beyond the disease and see the person before the patient, placing people and communities at the centre of our health system.

This World Cancer Day, we acknowledge everyone in our community affected by cancer, and we say thank you to the families, carers, volunteers and health workers who walk alongside them. 💙

A heartwarming end to a delicious journey!

After wrapping up our school lunch pilot at Berkeley Public School, our team at the Health Promotion Service received the most gorgeous thank you cards from the Year 1 students and they absolutely made our day! 🥰

This pilot project, a partnership with Healthy Cities Australia and the UOW: University of Wollongong, Australia, brought healthy, individually plated lunches to Year 1 students three days a week. It was all about creating a calm, welcoming space where kids could enjoy nutritious food, build social connections and explore new flavours.

From blind taste tests to food-themed Storytime and garden-grown veggies, the students were at the heart of it all and their beautiful cards show just how much it meant to them.

Thank you to the Year 1 students at Berkeley Public School, for your creativity, kindness and big smiles. We’re so proud to have shared this journey with you!

Big changes start with small plates!

The school lunch pilot, in partnership with Healthy Cities Australia and UOW: University of Wollongong, Australia has wrapped up and the observations look encouraging.

✅ Calmer classrooms
✅ Stronger social connections
✅ More veggie-eating (especially from the school garden!)
✅ Growing independence
✅ Better mealtime support from staff

While some students were still warming up to new foods, the overall impact was super positive and it’s helping shape the future of school meals across Australia.

This project is part of a bigger movement to make nutritious school meals the norm across Australia.
