It is Birth Trauma Awareness Week (BTAW).

The theme for 2023 is Postpartum Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Postpartum PTSD remains largely unknown and mis/underdiagnosed despite it occurring in up to 15% of parents in the first six months post-birth. This means that women are still falling through the gaps in healthcare and may not be receiving the best treatment for their needs.

Australasian Birth Trauma Association is the first charity in Australia solely dedicated to supporting women, partners and families after birth-related trauma. Visit their website here. https://birthtrauma.org.au/

GASTROINTESTINAL ILLNESS

We have seen an influx of cases of gastrointestinal illness (vomiting and diarrhoea). The Metro North Public Health Unit is working to identify the cause and put in place extra measures to prevent further spread of infection.

The following information should assist in preventing further cases of illness:
Any person who is unwell with vomiting or diarrhoea should stay home until they have recovered and been completely well for a minimum of two (2) full days.

Washing of hands with liquid soap and water and drying them well after using the toilet, changing nappies, attending to ill people and before preparing or eating food are important hygiene measures.

Regularly monitoring children for signs of illness, especially if your child attends a childcare centre or members of your household are ill with gastro. Please keep unwell children at home.

Until the outbreak is over, avoid any outside gatherings, such as parties or play dates, where children may mix and share food.

Please see your doctor if you are concerned about your child's health. If the symptoms include vomiting or diarrhoea, it is requested that faecal and/or vomitus samples are collected for laboratory testing.

If you need to see a doctor please call Warner Health on (07) 3882 2366 or you can book online at

ASTHMA WEEK IS ON 1-7 SEPTEMBER

2.7 million of us are living with asthma (1 in 9). It is one of the top long-term health conditions affecting Aussies.

This year, we’re asking Australians to remove the stigma from asthma. Stigma is when someone views a person in a negative way because of their asthma. That’s thoughts like “it’s not that serious” or “they should take their puffer in private”. These thoughts can leave people with asthma feeling isolated or alone. It might even make people uncomfortable about taking their asthma medication in front of others.

When people with asthma feel supported, they manage their asthma better. In Australia, this could make a huge difference.

As part of this year’s Asthma Week, we undertook a survey about the common stigmas surrounding asthma. This survey reaffirmed the stigma that people with asthma face, particularly in the workplace and when taking their medications in public.

The answer is YES! ✅ Frozen fish and canned fish are great alternatives to fresh fish (they're often cheaper too 🙌).

Here are tips for choosing healthier versions of frozen and canned fish...

🐟 Choose canned fish in spring water or a heart-healthy oil, like olive oil.

🐟 Some types of canned fish (e.g. salmon and sardines) contain small, soft bones which you can eat! These are a great source of calcium.

🐟 When selecting frozen fish, opt for varieties that aren't already crumbed or battered. These can be high in salt and saturated fat.
