International Women’s Day 2026

Macedon Ranges Health proudly celebrates International Women’s Day and stands with our community in embracing a simple, powerful principle: give to gain.

This year’s theme is all about giving - whether it’s time, support, mentorship, resources, or chances to grow. When we give, it creates safer spaces, better health, stronger leaders, better incomes, and more opportunities for all women and girls.

At Macedon Ranges Health, we see every day how amazing women are as carers, professionals, volunteers, advocates, and changemakers. We also know how important it is to have safe, welcoming spaces where everyone can thrive. By sharing our time, know-how, and compassion, we’re helping build lasting change together.

This International Women's Day, we celebrate the achievements of women and recommit to promoting respect, inclusion, and wellbeing for all.

Who is a woman in your life who inspires you? Share a message of appreciation in the comments.

Supporting strong, confident teens through physiotherapy led training.

For the past 12 months, Macedon Ranges Health has been running a physiotherapy developed and led strengthening program for teens aged 12–17.

The program supports young people to build strength, improve movement and reduce injury risk in a safe, supportive environment.

“This program is about setting young people up with the right foundations for lifelong movement and sport,” says Aleks, program physiotherapist. “We focus on age appropriate strength, key movement patterns and injury prevention, with a strong emphasis on correct technique. These foundational athletic movements are the building blocks that help prepare young people to safely transition into a commercial gym environment later on, when it’s appropriate, while building confidence and performance as they grow.”

“We consistently hear really positive feedback from participants. Teens tell us they feel stronger, more confident, and better prepared for sport and future training. Parents also appreciate that the program is supervised by physiotherapists in a safe, supportive environment where correct technique and long-term development really matter.”

A great example of how early, evidence-based support can help young people move well now - and into the future.

Coming soon to Macedon Ranges Health - new podiatry treatment.

We’re excited to introduce Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy (PACT) - an advanced treatment option for fungal nail infections.
Fungal nail infections are more common than many people realise, affecting around 1 in 10 Australian adults, with rates increasing as we age. If left untreated, these infections can lead to discomfort and complications, including bacterial infections beneath the nail.
At Macedon Ranges Health, our Podiatry team regularly supports clients - particularly older adults - experiencing ongoing fungal nail infections.

What is PACT?

PACT is a modern, non-invasive fungal nail treatment with a success rate of around 80%. It uses a specialised photosensitive gel combined with light therapy to target and eliminate fungal pathogens, without the need for oral medications or surgical procedures.

For podiatry enquiries, contact Macedon Ranges Health on 5428 0300.

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.
