Summer is well and truly here, and Queensland’s heat and humidity can take a toll, especially if you’re outdoors or active. January temperatures in Queensland often sit in the high 20s to low 30s, with strong sunshine and a high UV index, so sun safety and heat awareness are really essential.

Heat stress can cause dehydration, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, so staying cool and hydrated is key. If you’re feeling unwell in the heat, our team is here to support you.

Call (07) 3564 6400 or book online anytime.
