Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is held annually in June to raise funds and awareness for Australia's second deadliest cancer.
Led by organisations like Bowel Cancer Australia, the campaign focuses on early detection, screening, and recognising common symptoms.

The Impact of Bowel Cancer
• Prevalence: Around one in 13 Australians will develop bowel cancer in their lifetime.
• Diagnosis: More than 15,000 Australians are diagnosed each year, and a growing portion of those affected are under the age of 50.
• Survival Rate: When detected early, over 90% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated.
Screening and Symptoms
• Screening Program: The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program provides free, at-home test kits every two years for eligible Australians aged 45 to 74.
• Key Symptoms: Warning signs can include blood in your stool, noticeable changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, extreme tiredness, or a lump/swelling in the abdomen.

Men's Health Week in Australia runs from Monday 15 to Sunday 21 June 2026.

The official theme is "See Your GP", which features the "101 Reasons to See Your GP" campaign to encourage men and boys to visit their doctor and get checked out when something doesn't feel right.

The overall aims of the week are to:
• Heighten awareness of preventable health problems for males
of all ages.
• Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices
/ activities.
• Encourage the early detection and treatment of health
difficulties in males.

2026 theme:
• The "See Your GP" Campaign: Aimed at countering the statistic that two in three Australian men wait too long to seek medical help. The initiative provides practical tools and 101 everyday signs or symptoms to help men identify when they should book an appointment for physical, mental, or reproductive health.
• The "101 Reasons" Hub: Created by Healthy Male, the campaign features an interactive microsite listing everyday physical symptoms and emotional changes. If even one reason feels familiar, it’s a valid reason to book an appointment. [1, 2]
• No Fear-Based Messaging: Instead of using "scare tactics," the campaign focuses on recognizing the small changes men are already noticing and normalizing GP visits so they don't feel like a big deal.

Happy National Blood Donor Week

Kids deserve a life in colour. To roll down green hills and splash in blue oceans. To pick a yellow flower. To choose their favourite colour (and change it twice a day). Sick kids maybe even more so. Your 10 donations make life possible for children with serious illnesses and injuries.

National Blood Donor Week is all about you.
You deserve a life in colour, too.
So, Lifeblood wanted to do something special to celebrate you and your donations.
Lifeblood is celebrating National Blood Donor Week with a bandage by Aussie artist David Booth, inspired by drawings by kids in hospital, until 19 July.

David went to visit the kids at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Adelaide and asked them to draw what they love about life. Even with all they’ve been through, they still shared so much.
Their joy. Their passions. The drawings were silly, creative, fun. And vibrantly colourful.

Donate 8 June – 19 July for a special donor bandage.
You'll leave your next donation with a special donor bandage featuring a wonky frog, a dapper dog and a crocodile with a smile. Based on drawings by sick kids.

JUNE 8 is WORLD BRAIN TUMOR AWARENESS DAY.

Generalized Symptoms:
These are common because the skull cannot expand to accommodate a growing mass or swelling (increased intracranial pressure).
Headaches: Often the most common symptom. They tend to be worse in the morning, wake you from sleep, or worsen when coughing, straining, or bending over.
Nausea and Vomiting: Especially when waking up in the morning.
Cognitive Issues: Unexplained fatigue, drowsiness, confusion, memory loss, or difficulty concentrating.
Personality Changes: Sudden shifts in mood, anxiety, depression, or uncharacteristic behaviours.

Localized (Focal) Symptoms:
Signs vary drastically depending on which lobe or area the tumor is affecting:
Frontal Lobe: Weakness on one side of the body, balance issues, and changes in personality or judgment.
Parietal Lobe: Sensory issues, difficulty understanding language, or spatial/visual problems.
Occipital Lobe: Partial or complete vision loss.
Temporal Lobe: Memory problems, seizures, or experiencing strange smells or tastes.
Cerebellum: Clumsiness, loss of balance, or difficulty walking.

Other Common Signs
• Seizures: Can be a first sign and include convulsions, twitches in limbs, or brief staring and unresponsive episodes.
• Sensory Changes: Blurry or double vision, hearing loss, or ringing in the ears.
• Motor Weakness: Numbness, tingling, or weakness in specific limbs or parts of the face.
While many of these symptoms can be caused by other less serious conditions, you should consult a healthcare professional for any new, unexplained, or worsening neurological symptoms.

Friday 05th June is National Sausage Roll Day!

One of the best things about sausage rolls is how versatile they are. They work just as well as a quick lunch as they do on a party platter, as a weekend snack, or even a cheeky breakfast.

Bite-Sized Facts for the Big Day
In honour of National Sausage Roll Day, here are a few fun facts to enjoy:
• The largest sausage roll ever made stretched over 130 metres
long!
• Sausage rolls consistently rank among the top five best-selling
items in Australian bakeries.
• The rise of plant-based eating has led to a delicious boom in
vegetarian and vegan sausage roll varieties.

How to Celebrate National Sausage Roll Day
The best way to join the celebration is simple—enjoy a sausage roll.
You can bake your own, pick one up from a bakery, or try a new twist on the classic.

What This Day Is All About
National Sausage Roll Day is a celebration of good food, good company, and the kind of traditions that stick around for a reason.

It is also a chance to:
Support local businesses: Bakeries are the heart of many communities.
Connect with tradition: For many people, sausage rolls bring back memories of childhood, family, school events, and weekend get-togethers.
Try something new: With so many creative takes on the classic, it is the perfect day to sample a gourmet, veggie, or plant-based version.
Have fun: Whether you bake at home, try a new flavour, or simply enjoy a flaky treat with your morning coffee, it is a light-hearted excuse to savour the day!

AUSTRALIAN MADE WEEK

The Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG) logo is the true mark of Aussie authenticity.

As a certification trademark, it is Australia's most trusted, recognised and widely used country of origin symbol.

For more than 40 years, the trusted green and gold kangaroo logo has helped thousands of brands communicate their Australian credentials to consumers, businesses and all levels of government.

At the same time, the Australian Made logo provides consumers with a highly recognised and trusted symbol for genuine Aussie products and produce. It does both of these things in conjunction with a campaign encouraging consumers to look for the logo when shopping.

The Australian Made logo is a registered certification trademark and can only be used on products that are registered with the not-for-profit organisation Australian Made Campaign Ltd (AMCL). There are a strict set of rules governing the logo’s use, which include meeting the criteria set out in the Australian Consumer Law, and the more stringent Code of Practice.

Look for the logo and buy Australian Made

May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month in Australia, often referred to as "Grey May," dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the leading cause of cancer-related death in children and young adults.
Initiatives include wearing grey, the Grey May Appeal, and various fundraising events to support research into better treatments, as survival rates for brain tumors have seen little improvement in 30 years.
FACT: Around 2,000 people diagnosed annually in Australia.

Does it count if it is in a pie with sugar?

Today is NATIONAL APPLE PIE DAY.

Although known all over the world, the apple pie originated in England over 630 years ago, with the first recorded recipe appearing in 1381.

Apparently, a famous fast food chain in Australia use to mix Choko with the apples in their pies as they were cheaper and rather tasetless, therefore easily taking on the flavour of the apples.
