Let's talk about the features that make the Pjama bedwetting alarm stand out. The wireless design means there are no uncomfortable cords, allowing your child to move freely and sleep naturally. The speaker unit is small and can be placed on a bedside table, and the sensor is discreetly integrated into our pyjamas. This thoughtful design ensures your child's comfort and compliance, making the journey to dryness a positive one.

September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month. Spinal cord injuries can happen to anyone at any time. No one is immune. All it takes is a fall, a sporting injury or a car accident for someone to experience permanent paralysis.

Remember - a spinal cord is a lot like a power line. It can be damaged in a myriad of ways. The only difference is that a damaged spinal cord cannot be repaired. See two SCI facts below.

Did you know that children can get dementia?

Dementia in childhood is caused by over 140 genetic conditions. One in every 2,900 babies is born with one of these disorders.

Dementia in children can share some of the same symptoms as dementia in adults. Symptoms can include confusion, personality changes, memory loss and trouble concentrating, understanding, learning and communicating.

Today is Childhood Dementia Day. Dementia Australia CEO Professor Tanya Buchanan is showing her support with face paint for Childhood Dementia Initiative's campaign to raise awareness.
