Today is Remembrance Day. A day to honour the courage, service, and sacrifice of all Australians who have served, and continue to serve.

For many veterans and their families, today carries significant emotional weight. It may stir grief or quiet reflection. If you know someone who is feeling heavy or distressed, reach out. A gentle check-in can mean the world 💛

If today brings up difficult emotions for you or someone close to you, we encourage you to reach out to Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling for free and confidential support. The line is available 24/7 on 1800 011 046. Other support services can be found at ruok.org.au/findhelp

🌿 World Mental Health Day 🌿
Today is a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and take care of yourself — mind and body.

Here are a few small ways to start your morning on a happier note:

☀️ Step outside for your morning coffee
Those first rays of sunlight lift your mood, boost your energy, and help you sleep better at night. Even a few minutes outdoors can make you feel refreshed and ready for the day.

🎶 Start your day with music
Play songs that make you smile! A happy playlist can turn an ordinary morning into something brighter and lighter.

😊 Smile at yourself in the mirror
It might feel silly, but it actually works — smiling releases feel-good chemicals that boost confidence and positivity.

🌱 Talk to your plants (or simply care for them)
Connecting with nature, even in small ways, can help you feel grounded and calm. Watching something grow under your care is a beautiful reminder of patience and growth.

💙 If you’re struggling — please reach out.
We’re here to listen, support, and help in any way we can. You’re never alone in this.

📣 A Gentle Reminder: Be Kind. Always. 💛
To our valued customers, Lately, we've had some difficult days. While most of you are wonderful and supportive, we've also encountered a growing number of instances of verbal abuse and unkind treatment toward our team. Our staff are real people — with hearts, families, and feelings — working hard every day to help. Whether they’re behind the counter, on the phones, in the treatment rooms or cleaning up after a long day, they deserve the same compassion and respect that we all do. We understand that things can be frustrating at times, but kindness costs nothing — and it makes a world of difference. Let’s work together to create a space where respect and humanity are always at the forefront. 💛 Thank you to everyone who continues to show us patience and empathy. It means more than you know.

Today we acknowledge ***dePreventionDay under the theme ‘Changing the Narrative on Su***de’.

Changing the narrative on su***de requires systemic change. It means more than just raising awareness — it about transforming how we perceive and respond to this complex issue.

Everyone has a role to play. By raising awareness, reducing the stigma and encouraging action we can help to reduce the instances of su***de around the world.
