World Cancer Day | United in Unique

Today, 4 February, we join people around the world to recognise World Cancer Day.

Every cancer journey is different. Behind every diagnosis is a unique person, family, and story, yet we are united in raising awareness, encouraging prevention and early detection, and supporting one another with care and compassion.

Today is a reminder of the strength of individuals, the importance of connection, and the role we all play in creating a more informed and supportive community.

⚠️ Smoke in the Air – Health Advice

Due to bushfires in the region, smoke levels may affect air quality in Yarrawonga/mulwala and surrounding areas.

Smoke can worsen breathing problems, particularly for people with asthma, heart or lung conditions, older adults, pregnant people, and young children.

To reduce smoke exposure indoors:
• Keep doors and windows closed
• Use air conditioning on recirculate, if available
• Ensure air-conditioning filters are clean
• Avoid activities that add indoor air pollution (e.g. burning candles, vacuuming)
If you experience breathing difficulties, chest pain, or worsening symptoms, seek medical advice.
Please take care and check on vulnerable family members and neighbours
