Bullying No Way Week is a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness about the serious impact bullying can have on individuals and communities.
Bullying can cause long-term physical and mental health effects, including stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and reduced self-esteem, which may carry into adulthood.
It can also lead to social withdrawal, academic struggles, and in severe cases, self-harm.
Preventing bullying starts with fostering a culture of respect, empathy, and inclusion in schools, workplaces, and communities. This includes educating people about the signs of bullying, encouraging open communication, empowering bystanders to speak up, and ensuring strong policies and support systems are in place.

Loneliness Awareness Week (held annually in the first week of August) shines a spotlight on the shared experience of loneliness and calls on all Australians, including individuals, communities, workplaces, education, and government, to take action to reduce loneliness and create more opportunities for meaningful social connection.
Prolonged loneliness is more than just a feeling—it’s linked to a higher risk of mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as physical conditions such as heart disease, weakened immunity, and even cognitive decline. Just as we care for our physical well-being, it’s important to nurture our social connections. To help prevent loneliness, we can make small but meaningful efforts such as checking in on friends and family, joining community groups, volunteering, or simply engaging in regular social activities.
Building and maintaining strong relationships is essential for both our mental and physical health.

World Hepatitis Day, observed every year on July 28, raises global awareness about viral hepatitis, a group of infectious diseases known as Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, which affect millions worldwide and cause serious liver disease.
The day is a reminder of the urgent need for prevention, testing, treatment, and support, particularly for Hepatitis B and C, which are the most deadly and often go undiagnosed.

Vaccination is available for Hepatitis A and B, and effective treatments exist for Hepatitis C.
Raising awareness, promoting regular testing, practicing safe hygiene and medical practices, and breaking the stigma around hepatitis are key to global prevention and elimination efforts.

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts with others, and experiences the world around them.
It is called a "spectrum" because it presents differently in each individual, ranging from mild to more complex needs.
People with autism may have difficulties with social skills, repetitive behaviours, and sensory sensitivities, but they can also have unique strengths such as attention to detail, strong memory, or focused interests.
Early support and understanding can help individuals with autism thrive in their own way and lead fulfilling lives.
