It is National Skin Cancer Action Week!☀️
Around 2,000 people in Australia die from skin cancer each year and 2 in 3 Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. However, most skin cancers can be prevented by the use of good sun protection.
Book your skin check with your GP soon (all our GPs are qualified to performed full skin checks). And remember to always practice the five sun protection measures when UV is 3 and above:
- slip on sun protective clothing
- slop on SPF30 or higher broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen
- slap on a shady hat
- seek shade
- slide on sunglasses

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it.
In general terms, it manifests itself in physical, sexual and psychological forms, encompassing:
intimate partner violence (battering, psychological abuse, marital rape, femicide);
sexual violence and harassment (rape, forced sexual acts, unwanted sexual advances, child sexual abuse, forced marriage, street harassment, stalking, cyber- harassment);
human trafficking (slavery, sexual exploitation);
female genital mutilation; and
child marriage.
The adverse psychological, sexual and reproductive health consequences of VAWG affect women at all stages of their life.
Violence against women continues to be an obstacle to achieving equality, development, peace as well as to the fulfillment of women and girls’ human rights. All in all, the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - to leave no one behind - cannot be fulfilled without putting an end to violence against women and girls.

The Albury Wodonga Health Community COVID Consult Clinic is currently caring for 575 COVID-positive individuals from across the border region (the decrease is due to many people being discharged from this service).
We currently have seven COVID-positive patients in hospital, none of whom are in Intensive Care.
📎NB: Most of the active cases in Wodonga and Wangaratta are occurring in school-aged children. Vaccination is the best protection against getting COVID-19.
We urge anyone with eligible school-aged children who are not currently isolating to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
The Wodonga Vaccination Hub is open until 7pm today and tomorrow and all young people aged 12 to 18 are strongly encouraged to come forward and be vaccinated.

ITS MOVEMBER! Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.
A growing number of men are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 75% of all suicides.
Lets support this great initiative! You don't have to grow to save a BRO!
