Recently it was the Heart Foundation's Heart Week, focused on knowing your CVD Risk and keeping up with your Heart Health Checks.

In our May Community Health Newsletter edition, see here, we interviewed one the SHDH Dietitian's about the latest on food and nutrition for a healthy heart! We also have details on the Heart Foundation's FREE personal walking plans, designed to make it easier for you to start and stay moving.

We celebrate our team of eight Dietitian's in Dietitians Week!

Learn more about our Eat a Rainbow Sessions at our local early childhood centres, the Health Promotion team is visiting this term and our new Giggles, Wiggles & Words Project, launched in SHDH waiting rooms across our service!

Balance the Scales is a promise that every woman and girl – regardless of background or identity – should be safe, heard, and free to shape their own lives. Yet in 2026, too many across Australia and the world are still denied that fair go. Discriminatory laws, policies, and practices persist. Gender-based violence remains widespread, and structural barriers block too many from seeking or receiving justice.

This International Women’s Day let's Balance the Scales together and focus on health. Preventative care is foundational to women’s safety and wellbeing, and health screening supports fairness and equal access to care. Learn more about age related health checks and local services in our Women’s Health Check Guide and women's health services here.
