Extreme heat is Australia’s deadliest natural hazard—it causes more deaths each year than floods or bushfires. During heatwaves, hundreds of lives are lost, and many of those are older people.

With extreme heat warnings across most Australian states, it's vital to know the warning signs of heat-related health conditions.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms in yourself and others. If you notice any of the above, act as early as possible and seek medical assistance by calling 000.

Stay cool and act early to protect your wellbeing during this heatwave.

There's nothing better than a Christmas gift that does good. We're proud to be hosting our charity partners The Torch and Worthy Cause at a festive market stall in the office this week.

The Torch creates new pathways through art and culture for First Nations people who have been incarcerated. Their aim is to reduce the rate of reoffending, with 100% of artwork sales going directly to the First Nations artist.

Worthy Cause empowers people overcoming employment barriers by employing them to bake delicious cookies. All proceeds go directly towards funding their structured employment program.

Why not support one of these incredible organisations this Christmas and give a gift that keeps on giving. Visit their websites for more information.
