It's going to be a hot weekend Canberra! 🥵

If you’re heading out to an outdoor event, working outside, or spending time in the sun, please take extra care.

💧 Stay hydrated:

◾️ Drink water regularly - don’t wait until you feel thirsty
◾️ Avoid excess alcohol and caffeine
◾️ Take regular breaks in the shade or cool areas

🧢 Reduce heat exposure:

◾️ Wear light, loose-fitting clothing and sun protection
◾️ Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day
◾️ Where possible, spend time indoors or in air-conditioned spaces

🚑 Know the warning signs:

◾️ Headache
◾️ Dizziness or fainting
◾️ Nausea or vomiting
◾️ Feeling weak or unwell

If someone becomes confused, collapses, has very hot skin, or stops sweating, this could be heat stroke - a medical emergency.

📞 Get help early:

◾️ For health advice: Healthdirect 1800 022 222
◾️ If symptoms worsen or are severe: call Triple Zero (000) or go to the nearest emergency department

Please also check in on older people, children, pregnant people, and neighbours, and don’t forget your pets - everyone feels the heat differently.

For updates and official advice, follow the ACT Emergency Services Agency and trusted sources.

Stay cool, plan ahead, and look out for each other. ☀️💙

☀️ Summer sun, long weekends, and time outdoors — it’s a good time to check your skin

With summer holidays and public long weekends, many of us are spending more time outside. In Australia, that often means increased sun exposure — and it’s common to notice new spots, changes in moles, or areas of skin that don’t feel quite right.
At Next Practice Deakin, our clinicians offer comprehensive skin checks and minor skin procedures. We take time to look carefully, explain what we see, and talk through next steps together.
Whether you’ve noticed:
• a new spot
• a mole that’s changed in colour, size, or shape
• a sore that won’t heal
• or you’d simply like reassurance
— we’re here to help.
