Paralympian Ben Tudhope has faced more nos than most. Born with cerebral palsy, he was told he wouldn’t walk or talk and, definitely couldn’t snowboard. But now he is heading to his fourth Winter Paralympic Games.

To honour Ben’s story, we created him a custom No Board snowboard, featuring the words of doubt he overcame on the base.

A powerful reminder that belief to stronger than prediction. We can’t wait to see what he can do in Milano Cortina soon!

From Windsor to centre court.

Last week, we took some of our Windsor Aged Care residents to the Australian Open and safe to say, it was love at first serve.

They soaked up the activations, the buzzing crowd, enjoyed some great food, and clocked up plenty of steps wandering the precinct.

And while there was plenty to see and do, it was the tennis that stole the show.

Barbara summed it up perfectly:

“I could’ve just sat there watching the tennis all day.”

Now, she’s encouraging Australians to speak up about their health—because when others know, they can better support and understand you.

Georgia is one of six Australian Paralympic Team para-athletes featured in our Health Stories campaign.

Get outside for healthy school-ready eyes.

With kids spending more time in front of screens and less time playing outside, we found 27 per cent of Australian children who underwent an eye test last year at Bupa Optical were diagnosed with myopia.

Spending time outdoors has been proven to be beneficial for reducing myopia risk amongst children.

According to Bupa Optical, Optometrist Karen Makin “We continue to see more and more parents coming in to report that their children have been having trouble in the classroom as a result of vision problems”

Summer has well and truly arrived, which means beach days, backyard cricket and delicious outdoor BBQs.

But with more time spent outdoors comes a higher risk of sunburn, heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Here are some simple tips to help you enjoy your time in the sun safely. And if you or someone you care about starts feeling unwell, don’t ignore it — get out of the heat and get medical attention if required.

Earbuds are part of modern life, but are they putting your hearing at risk?

Simon Davis, Bupa Audiology Services Manager and Clinical Audiologist Simon Davis said : “Listening to music for 2 to 3 hours a day at a very excessive volume puts you at risk of damaging your hearing which would be consistent with the type of hearing loss we see in factories and extreme noise exposure.”

Learn how to keep your ears safe while still enjoying your favourite tunes.

For Wesley from Bupa Dental Knox, it started with having a great family dentist growing up and turned into a career helping people walk out with healthy smiles they’re genuinely proud of (confidence boost included).

Top tooth tips from Wesley: floss daily, brush twice, go easy on the sugary snacks, and don’t fear the scale & clean, it’s actually your teeth’s best friend. Nervous in the chair? You’re in good hands. Think calm vibes, clear explanations, gentle treatment… and yes, Netflix on the ceiling.

And if dentistry didn’t work out? Wesley reckons he’d be designing buildings instead. Architecture era loading.
