Brain health is for everyone, at every stage of life. Brain Awareness Week encourages a proactive approach – focusing on practical steps to support brain health, reduce risk, and recognise symptoms earlier.

On Safer Internet Day, we are reminded that while we cannot eliminate risk entirely, we can help children build confidence, resilience, and safety online through collaboration, education, and support. By combining practical strategies with emotional support, parents can help ensure that online games remain a source of fun, creativity, and connection without compromising mental wellbeing.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month in Australia — a nationwide initiative dedicated to increasing understanding, reducing stigma, and encouraging open conversations about mental health.

One conversation can save a life. On September 10, the world comes together for World Suicide Prevention Day 2025—a day to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and remind everyone that reaching out matters. With the theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide,” this is a moment to rethink how we talk about mental health, check in on those around us, and take action to prevent suicide.

The theme for this year’s Women’s Health Week is Say Yes to You. The purpose of this year’s theme is to help women prioritise their health and wellbeing. Many women get caught up in the busyness of life, and are likely to put their health and wellbeing needs on the back burner. This Women’s Health Week, take a moment to pause and check in with yourself or a woman you know about their health and wellbeing.    

Bullying No Way Week is Australia's key bullying prevention initiative for schools. It provides an opportunity for schools to create a shared understanding about bullying behaviours and share their bullying prevention policies and strategies. Together, we can foster practical approaches to prevent bullying in Australian schools.
