Chronic conditions affect 6 in 10 Australians and nearly 4 in 10 live with two or more.

But you’re not alone. Structured care with your GP—through a Chronic Conditions Management Plan—brings the power of continuity, coordination and prevention to your healthcare journey.

That means better outcomes, less burden, and more quality of life.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.

Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer, claiming over 100 lives every week — but it doesn't have to be this way.

Make sure you know the signs and regularly check for symptoms.

Early detection can save your life. Bowel cancer is highly treatable when caught early — yet it can affect people of any age, not just older adults.

💙 Support @bowelcanceraustralia this month to raise awareness and vital funds for those impacted

Last week, we rolled up our sleeves for Eastbound’s Biggest Morning Tea Bake-Off 💛🍰

Together, we raised over $320 for Cancer Council to support vital cancer research, prevention, and support services.

A special shoutout to receptionist Jess, who took out the title of Best Baker with her zesty and delectable lemon cheesecake 🍋👏

Today is #WorldOvarianCancerDay 💜

Established in 2013 by ovarian cancer advocacy leaders, World Ovarian Cancer Day prompts us to raise our voices in solidarity in the fight against ovarian cancer.

This #WOCD2025, we continue to embrace the multi-year campaign theme, “No Woman Left Behind”.

There are more than 30 different types of ovarian cancer. It is one of the most lethal of female cancers with delays in diagnoses due to lack of screening and because symptoms are often confused with other less severe illnesses.

Let’s spread the word this month to improve outcomes of ovarian cancer!

May is Crohn's & colitis awareness month. This gi

May is Crohn's & colitis awareness month.

This gives Australians an opportunity to understand more about the reality of living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

We can help people living with these illnesses speak up about the day-to-day issues they face to reduce stigma and encourage others to seek diagnoses.

While both Crohn's and colitis share common symptoms like diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain and feeling generally unwell, some symptoms are more characteristic of one disease than the other.

For more information about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, visit crohnsandcolitis.org.au @crohnsandcolitisau

This March, Australia will shine bright again with Endo Enlightened, an awareness initiative that will see over 60 participating landmarks and buildings lit up in yellow.

Endometriosis is a common disease that primarily affects the reproductive organs. In Australia, 1 in 7 girls, women and those assigned female at birth live with endometriosis.

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, and ongoing efforts to raise awareness and funds for research are vital.

Each year in Australia, around 1,800 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

In most cases, the cancer is diagnosed at an advanced stage, where it is very difficult to treat.
