February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Every year in Australia, around 1,900 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer - often at an advanced stage when it’s harder to treat. That’s why raising awareness matters.

This month, we’re joining the movement to educate, advocate and elevate voices affected by ovarian cancer.

🔹 Know the signs: persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, frequent urination and other subtle symptoms should not be ignored.
🔹 There’s no early detection screening test, so talking to your GP about symptoms that are new, persistent or unusual is important.
🔹 Wear teal this February to spark conversations and support those impacted.

Together we can help raise awareness, support families, and push for progress in research and care.

Back to School 2026: Fit Feet = Fit Kids! 👣

As the new school year kicks off, Macedon Ranges Health is reminding families just how important well-fitting shoes are for children’s health, comfort and development. This Back to School season, we’re shining a spotlight on the role proper footwear plays in supporting growing bodies.

Fit Feet = Fit Kids encourages choosing the right shoes for the right activities, helping children stay active, confident and focused, whether they’re learning in the classroom, playing on the playground or taking part in sport.

We encourage families to take a moment to check their child’s footwear, from ensuring the correct fit to keeping an eye on any foot or movement concerns. Starting the year with the right shoes can make a big difference to comfort, posture and long-term foot health.

Let’s work together to support healthy, happy feet for every child in our community!

That’s a wrap on our cooking classes for 2025!

Our wonderful group finished the year on a delicious high, coming together to make homemade baklava to celebrate a year filled with cooking, learning, and connection.

The sweet treat was enjoyed by everyone, with plenty of leftovers to take home and share with family and friends!

A huge thank you to our incredible Dietitian, Munise, who leads the program each week with creativity, enthusiasm, and recipes that are always a crowd favourite.

If you’re interested in joining our cooking program in 2026, we’d love to hear from you.

Macedon Ranges Health was thrilled to again be part of the annual Gisborne Festival last Friday!

It was wonderful to see our team join the festive spirit alongside residents from The Gisborne Oaks care home as they proudly took part in the street parade.

We also loved connecting with the community at our MRH stall, where we ran a fun quiz (with prizes!) and a free raffle that certainly drew a crowd.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, take part, and share in the celebrations. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

We’re excited to share that a temporary pop-up Op Shop has opened right here at MRH - located in the old café space!

This little shop is a community-friendly, honesty-based space, meaning it won’t be staffed. There will be a payment box - so make sure you bring along some spare change!

You’ll find a range of Macedon Ranges school uniforms for only $1 per item! Feel free to browse anytime you’re visiting the centre.

Pop in, have a look, and spread the word!

Yesterday, we joined communities across Australia and around the world to mark International Day of People with Disability, a day grounded in respect, understanding, and the right of every person to belong.

At Macedon Ranges Health, we believe health and care should be accessible, respectful and inclusive for everyone. We’re proud to support people of all abilities, visible or invisible, to live their healthiest, most empowered lives.

This year’s global theme is: “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress.” Together, we can break down barriers to build a community where everyone has equal opportunity.

To everyone in our community: let’s listen, learn, and act with empathy and inclusion. Every small action helps make our region a place where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.
