Get screened this October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Life gets busy, but it’s important to remember: it’s okay to take time to look after yourself. Add ‘book a mammogram’ to your to-do list this month.

Sadly, 1 in 7 women are diagnosed at some stage in their life. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better your chance of surviving it.

BreastScreen Australia provides free mammograms every 2 years for women aged 40 and over, and we actively invite women aged 50 to 74 to screen.

You can call 13 20 50 to book an appointment at your nearest breast screen clinic.

It's Dementia Action Week!

Dementia affects memory, thinking, and daily life beyond normal aging. With 433,300 Australians living with dementia, recognising the signs early matters. Forgetting your keys occasionally is normal. Consistently struggling with familiar tasks or getting lost in known places isn't. Your GP can help distinguish between normal aging and concerning symptoms, review medications, check for treatable conditions, and provide appropriate referrals.

Noticed persistent changes in memory or daily functioning? Consider talking to your GP. Early assessment can help address your worries and provide appropriate guidance.

Today is Bravehearts Day, a national awareness day dedicated to protecting children from sexual abuse. 1 in 4 children in Australia experience sexual abuse, making child protection education crucial for our community.

Warning signs that may indicate a child needs help:
➤ Sudden changes in behavior
➤ Withdrawal from usual activities
➤ Age-inappropriate knowledge or behavior
➤ Fear of specific people or places

If you suspect a child is being harmed, take any disclosure seriously and report concerns to child protection services immediately.

If you would like to support this important cause, donations can be made through Bravehearts Day. For more information visit: bravehearts.org.au

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, bringing focus to Australia's most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. Prostate cancer affects thousands of Australian men each year. When detected early, survival rates are significantly higher.

Prostate cancer often shows no symptoms in the early stages, making regular check-ups with your GP important for men over 50, or from 45 if you have a family history.

Common symptoms may include:
➤Difficulty starting or stopping urination
➤ Weak or interrupted urine flow
➤ Frequent urination, especially at night
➤ Blood in urine or semen
➤ Unexplained weight loss and fatigue

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please see your GP for further assessment.

Our GPs can discuss prostate cancer screening options appropriate for your age and risk factors. Book an appointment by contacting our reception team on 07 4724 0700.
