Today, 28 February, is Rare Disease Day 💙💚

A day to raise awareness, build understanding, and remind everyone that “rare” doesn’t mean invisible.

Here’s what every person should know:

▪️ A rare disease affects less than 1 in 2,000 people
▪️ There are more than 6,000 different rare diseases – affecting the heart, brain, lungs, muscles and more
▪️ Over 300 million people worldwide are living with a rare disease
▪️ Around 80% are caused by a change (or error) in DNA
▪️ That tiny change can affect how a protein in the body works – and that’s what triggers the disease

But here’s something just as important:

Living with a rare disease or disability doesn’t make someone less capable, less worthy, or less valuable. It just means their journey looks different.

Inclusion matters.
Understanding matters.
Kindness matters.

If you know someone living with a rare disease, the most powerful thing you can offer isn’t pity — it’s respect, friendship and space to belong.

Rare is many. And many deserve to be seen. 💙

Today is International Day of People with Disability — a day to honour the 5.5 million Australians living with disability and to deepen our awareness, understanding and acceptance as a community.

This year’s theme, “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress,” is a reminder that true inclusion is something we all build together.

It calls on us to create a fairer society where the rights, voices and contributions of people with disability are respected and valued.

To move toward this, we must:
* Remove the barriers that prevent people with disability from fully participating in everyday life.
* Ensure equal opportunities, access and choice for all.
* Provide healthcare, education and services that are truly accessible.
* Welcome people with disability into every space, every conversation and every part of community life.

We also need to acknowledge the ongoing challenges many people with disability face — including poverty, limited employment opportunities and discrimination — and commit to doing better.

I invite you to join me in challenging physical, technological and attitudinal barriers so we can build a more inclusive, diverse and compassionate Australia.

There's a new Brain Injury Social Group on the Sunny Coast, run by the Brain Injury Community Integration Service (BICS), starting this month!

The first meeting will be at Flagship by Tim Adams Speciality Coffee, Birtinya, with the first meetup on Wednesday September 17th.

This group will meet once a month from 10am-12pm. The program will run for 4-6 months, after which it will roll over to a new group, allowing others the opportunity to join and benefit from the sessions.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect, socialize, and build meaningful relationships within the community. If you require support, please attend with your support worker, family member or friend to ensure everyone’s needs are met.

Spaces are limited, so they encourage you to secure your spot by contacting BICS (sc-bics@health.qld.gov.au) for referral information.

If you’re interested or have any questions, contact BICS via email at sc-bics@health.qld.gov.au or phone 0417 426 497.
