Are you up to date with your cervical screening? The Cervical Screening Test can find human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes most cervical cancers.

You can choose to do the test yourself in private at your health service, or a clinician can do it for you.

If you’re age 25–to74, it’s just 1 test every 5 years.

During winter, many people manage their cold and flu symptoms at home, meaning official data may not always represent what is happening in our community.

Flutracking is a weekly online survey where you will answer a short set of questions each week about any symptoms you have experienced to help provide a better view of respiratory illness.

✅ Each and every input helps make FluTracking more representative of the Far West community.

✅ We are always seeking representation from diverse groups. When registering, you can identify other members of your household, such as children. This helps identify trends amongst age groups.

Buronga HealthOne is proud to be supporting an important local research project focused on improving heart health in our region
The Heart Health Check Community Project is a federally funded research project led by La Trobe University, in partnership with local community members and healthcare providers.
It’s exploring new ways for rural Australians to access a heart health check - whether that’s at home, through a pharmacy, or at a local healthcare service.
Why this matters: less than 1% of eligible Australians currently get a heart health check, despite heart disease being the leading cause of death, both nationally and here in our region.
By taking part, you’ll receive your own heart health check and a better understanding of your risk to heart disease, while also contributing to research that could help shape a new, more accessible model of care for rural communities.
Interested in taking part? Sign up below
www.oneheart.au
If it’s not something you can take part in right now, please consider sharing this with someone else who might be able to.
It’s something just for you and a chance to help create something better for others.
Be smart, check your heart, and take part today.
