We are few weeks away from Women's Health week.

In the busy lives we live as women it is easy to push our needs to the bottom of the list.
However your health is priority, get that blood test organised, that overdue screening completed, take that "me time" and go for walk with a friend.

This women's health week , let's say I did it!

Remember, every woman's cancer journey is different. If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with cancer, don't be afraid to ask your doctor or healthcare professional to explain the stage in simple terms.

Knowledge can help you make informed decisions

Do you know what the stages of cancer mean?

The stage of a cancer describes how far the cancer has grown and spread at the time of diagnosis.

Stages are used to describe the spread of solid tumours, like breast, bowel or lung cancers.

Knowing the stage of a cancer is important as it helps doctors to work out the best treatment options.

As women, we need to take care of our health, take note of any changes in our body and seek professional health if need be. Your health comes first!

Did you know that head and neck cancers start in any part of the head and neck area, including the nose, mouth, throat and sinuses?

More than 1,500 new cases of head and neck cancer will be diagnosed in NSW this year, so we’re helping people find the right facts, information and resources.

This World Head and Neck Cancer Day, we’re encouraging people to look out for symptoms:

➡️A sore or ulcer that doesn’t heal
➡️Pain in the mouth, throat, or ears, or pain when swallowing
➡️Red or white patches on the tongue, gums or mouth
➡️Bleeding from the mouth or in the saliva (spit)
➡️Numbness or tingling in the face
➡️Pressure in the neck when lying down

If you have any symptoms or concerns, you should see a GP.

2026 NSW PACIFIC AWARDS | SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The 2026 NSW Pacific Awards are fast approaching, and the NSW Council for Pacific Communities is inviting organisations, businesses and community partners to journey alongside us and be part of this special celebration.

Sponsorship of the Pacific Awards is about more than financial support. It is an opportunity for organisations to align with an event that recognises and celebrates the incredible Pacific people who contribute every day to our workplaces, businesses, communities and wider society.

Our Pacific communities are your employees, your customers, your colleagues, your clients, your neighbours and your friends.

By partnering with the 2026 NSW Pacific Awards, your organisation can help us recognise the individuals and organisations who are making a positive difference across New South Wales, while demonstrating your commitment to inclusion, community connection and celebrating Pacific achievement.

The NSW Pacific Awards bring together Pacific communities, government, industry, businesses and community leaders for an evening of culture, recognition and celebration.

We are proud to provide organisations with the opportunity to stand alongside our communities and help us celebrate the people who strengthen them.

Please see the attached Sponsorship Prospectus for information about the sponsorship opportunities available for the 2026 NSW Pacific Awards.

If your organisation or business would like to be involved, we would love to hear from you.

Together, we can recognise achievement, celebrate our people and continue building stronger Pacific communities across NSW.
