🎉 Connecting with the Community at the Hills Me

🎉 Connecting with the Community at the Hills Men’s Shed Open Day! 🎉

Over a week ago, Nabil had the pleasure of attending the Hills Men’s Shed Open Day. From enjoying the delicious BBQ and touring the impressive shed to exploring Christmas gift ideas, the highlight for Nabil was connecting with the amazing members of the shed.

It was Nabil’s first visit, and he was truly inspired by the incredible support the shed provides to its members and the way everyone looks out for one another. The sea of green “shedders” helping out throughout the day was a beautiful display of community spirit!

A big thank you to Elaine for keeping us updated on this fantastic event. And thank you to the Hills Men’s Shed for hosting such a wonderful open day!

Missed out on the fun? Don’t worry—you can still catch the team at Bunnings Castle Hill on Saturday, 30th November, from 10am to 2pm for more Christmas gift ideas.

Let’s continue supporting this incredible local initiative!

☀️Stay Safe During the Heatwave 🔥 With th

☀️Stay Safe During the Heatwave 🔥

With the heatwave upon us, it’s important to take care of ourselves and look out for those who are most vulnerable to the effects of extreme heat.

Who is most at risk?
• 👶 Babies and young children
• 👵 Older adults
• 🤒 People with chronic medical conditions, such as heart or lung issues
• 🏃‍♀️ Those working or exercising outdoors

Watch for signs of heat-related illnesses, especially heat stroke, which can become life-threatening. Symptoms include:
• High body temperature (above 39°C)
• Hot, dry skin or heavy sweating
• Confusion, disorientation, or fainting
• Rapid breathing or heart rate
• Nausea, vomiting, or seizures

If you or someone around you shows these signs, act immediately:
🚑 Call 000 for emergency assistance.
💧 Move the person to a cool place, apply cold water, and use fans to lower their body temperature while waiting for help.

Tips to stay cool and safe:
💧 Drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
🌴 Avoid outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day.
❄️ Use air conditioning or fans, and take cool showers or baths.
🤝 Check in on elderly or vulnerable neighbors, friends and family.

Remember, extreme heat can affect anyone, so please take care and also recognise these signs and symptoms for those around you.

For more information on heat related illnesses, go to @newsouthwaleshealth Beat the Heat page.

Stay safe and take care!

🎄 Help Us Spread Christmas Joy with Coast Shelter! 🎄

This Christmas, we’re proud to partner with @coastshelter for the third year in a row to collect food items for hampers to support those in need. Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our local community and other businesses, we were able to create 250 hampers!

Coast Shelter provides essential services like free meals, assessment and support for individuals experiencing homelessness or financial hardship. Every day, they serve over 150 meals to people facing challenges such as unemployment, family breakdown, or mental health issues.

We want to take a moment to thank everyone who has already contributed. Your kindness and generosity are so inspiring and a true reflection of the incredible community spirit we’re so fortunate to be part of. ❤️

To achieve our goal, we still need your help! We’re collecting items until December 7th and every donation makes a difference.

🌍 Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) & Travel ✈️

Did you know that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can be a travel health risk?

When we visit new places, especially areas with limited access to safe healthcare or widespread antibiotic misuse, we can be exposed to drug-resistant bacteria. Protecting yourself while travelling is essential, not just for your health but to help reduce the spread of resistant infections.

🦠 Travel Tips to Avoid AMR Risks:

1️⃣ Get Vaccinated: Vaccinations protect you from infections that may otherwise require antibiotics.

2️⃣ Practice Good Hygiene: Wash your hands regularly and use hand sanitiser.

3️⃣ Drink Safe Water: Avoid untreated water or ice and eat well-cooked food.

4️⃣ Only Take Prescribed Antibiotics: Don’t self-medicate with antibiotics purchased overseas.

💡 Did You Know?
Drug-resistant infections like traveller’s diarrhoea can occur in regions with poor sanitation. Carrying a travel health kit, including rehydration salts, can help manage symptoms without the unnecessary use of antibiotics.

🌏 Plan ahead with a Travel Health Consultation to learn how to stay healthy on your trip while helping to combat the global challenge of AMR.

Together, we can protect our health and the effectiveness of antibiotics for the future.

🌏 World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awarenes

🌏 World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week | 18-24 November

This week, we’re highlighting the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) – when bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites evolve to resist the medications that once treated them.

When infections become resistant, they can turn serious, even life-threatening. Raising awareness about AMR is crucial to protect our health and the effectiveness of treatments we rely on every day.

🦠 How Does AMR Happen?
1. Misuse of Antibiotics – Antibiotics don’t work on viruses like colds or fluand using them unnecessarily can drive resistance.
2. Not Finishing Courses – Stopping antibiotics too soon can leave bacteria behind, allowing them to adapt and become resistant.
3. Overuse in Healthcare and Agriculture – High antibiotic use in healthcare and farming can create resistance.
4. Poor Infection Control & Global Travel – Resistant bacteria spread quickly through poor infection control and travel.

🧼 How You Can Help:
• Only use antibiotics when prescribed.
• Complete the full course, even if you feel better.
• Don’t share antibiotics or use leftovers.

Let’s work together to prevent AMR and protect the future of our health.
