This is Seth and Blake (and some of our Chemotherapy team). These are the young fellas who gave up their weekend recently to raise money for cancer care at LRH... and became social media megastars in the process! You would've seen them on this platform for sure!
To refresh your memory, the brothers set up a stall on Kay Street in Traralgon to sell some of their unwanted toys and it was a huge hit. What Seth and Blake didn't realise is their little stall would also bring the community together. It seems lots of generous folk chipped in. And here they are today, dropping in their donation of $660 and promising to give it another go next year!
Share their story far and wide folks - we reckon they'll inspire other youngsters to give a local cause a helping hand.
Big thanks to Seth, Blake and the Douglass family! 😀👏👏

🩺 Know your medicine. Use it safely.

When you pick up a medicine either from the supermarket, pharmacy, or on prescription, it's really important to know how to read the label.

Are you between 16–25 and live in Gippsland? Wanna win a $250 Visa Gift Card?

We want you to design a bold, fun condom sleeve that gets people talking about safe s*x.

We’re flipping the convo with a design competition made by young people, for young people.

Coz, let’s be real talking about s*x and STIs doesn’t have to be awkward.

We are expecting some pretty big winds later today.

It might mean some Gippslanders will be without power for a while. Here are some important food safety tips in a power outtage:

✅ Before & After the power goes out

Keep your cold & frozen food cold to the touch (below 5 °C) — if it still is, it’s safe.

Once cold or frozen food warms up above safe temperature, you have up to 4 hours to use it — after that, it must go.

Frozen food that remains solidly frozen when power returns is still safe.

Hot food must be eaten within 4 hours of heating or be discarded.

⚠️ During the power outage — do this!

Move food from fridge → freezer (if possible) to maximise cold.

If the outage lasts more than an hour, place bagged ice under food packages and trays in freezer/fridge.

Cover cold/frozen food with an insulating blanket where possible.

Only open fridge/freezer doors when absolutely necessary — this helps keep the temperature down longer.

🔍 Bottom line: Power outages can put your food at risk — but by following these steps, you can help keep your food safe, avoid illness, and reduce waste.

Stay safe, and keep that fridge door closed!
