Lego at Congress - something for all the BIG kids. Looks like someone wanted to rummage in the box and put more pieces on the board.

Our team is at Congress, building their skills & staying up to date with the latest knowledge and advances, so we can continue bringing modern, high-quality care to our community.

They might be freezing their butts off while they’re down south, but they’re more than happy to take one for the team!

Prunes - Love or Hate them - they are a valuable source of fibre. They're naturally sweet, packed with fibre, potassium and vitamin K, and make a great healthy snack. Sometimes the simplest foods really are the best! I like to stew chopped apple in prune juice and add to porridge in the mornings or add chopped prunes and onion to gravy over a pork chop.

Every day, 2 million Australians live with diabetes, managing something most people never fully see.

This National Diabetes Week (12–18 July 2026), Diabetes Australia is amplifying their voices through Living Out Loud: built on a simple truth: real change doesn’t come from one voice speaking louder, it comes from many voices speaking together. Every individual declaration, different in its experience and type of diabetes, adds to a collective wall of voices that grows louder the more of us who speak up.

Your kidneys are a vital part of your body. The kidney’s main task is to clean your blood and filter out waste. When your kidneys aren’t working as they should, waste builds up in your body, and this can have a harmful impact on your health.

2.7 million Australians are living with signs of kidney disease. That’s around 1 in 7 Australians over 18 years old. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed with kidney disease, you’re a family member or friend supporting someone experiencing kidney disease, check with your GP. In early stages, you will be encouraged to eat a healthy diet, be active, stop smoking, reduce your alcohol intake and keep you blood pressure and blood glucose levels below the targets your doctor has set for you.

⭐ Research Opportunity ⭐

Are you a parent or caregiver of neurodivergent children who are fussy eaters?

Dietitian and PhD candidate, Josh Schiller, from Univeristy of western Sydney needs your help!

Josh works with neurodivergent individuals in his clinical practice. He is also doing a study that is looking at the perspectives of parents navigating challenging mealtimes, their experiences accessing feeding therapy and the commonly witnessed patterns of fussy eating.

To participate, parents or caregivers are asked to complete an interview and survey online to record their experiences navigating the journey of feeding children with fussy eating tendencies.

We are hoping his research will help inform clinical practice for all clinicians!
