Today is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD).

Each year IDPwD is held on December 3rd to raise community awareness, understanding and acceptance of the 5.5 million people with disability in Australia.

The 2025 IDPwD theme is: Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress.
The theme means we all need to work together to make society fairer and respect the rights of people with disability.

This week is National Skin Cancer Week.

National Skin Cancer Action Week encourages Australians to protect their skin from UV exposure and reduce the risk of developing skin cancer by making sun protection a daily habit.

Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, however fortunately, it is almost entirely preventable.

It’s important to get to know your skin and what looks normal for you. If you notice any changes in the size, shape or colour of an existing spot, or the development of a new spot, you should get it checked by a GP or your dermatologist as soon as possible.

Remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide.
