Today is World Heart Day.
It reminds us to be encouraged to Keep the Beat by pledging to take small steps that make a big difference to heart health. Whether it’s taking a short walk, cycling to work, or making a heart-healthy switch at dinnertime, every step can make a difference.

Many signs of CVD go unnoticed until itʼs too late. It can affect anyone – regardless of age, fitness or lifestyle. From congenital heart disease in young people to overlooked symptoms in women and people with uncontrolled hypertension, too many lives are lost because the warning signs go unrecognised.

This week marks Dementia Action Week
21 - 27 September, 2026

Dementia is Australia’s leading cause of death, but it’s not talked about nearly enough. This Dementia Action Week, we’re asking every Australian to help change that, one conversation at a time.

It’s time to talk about dementia

Almost half a million Australians are living with dementia today and over 1.7 million people are involved in their care.

But we don’t talk about it enough, It can feel too hard to raise. We worry about saying the wrong thing. And it’s often wrongly seen as just a part of getting older.

But silence has a cost - delayed diagnoses and treatment, carers who feel isolated, and people who never learn that help is here.

When we talk about dementia, we can:
- Improve support and services for Australians
- Improve understanding of dementia
- Reduce stigma and discrimination

Why it's time to talk

A national conversation about dementia is made up of thousands of smaller ones - in GP clinics, workplaces, community halls and family homes.��Every conversation can tell someone it’s safe to speak up, that they’re not alone, and connects them to support they didn't know exists.

We’re pleased to share this year’s theme for Dementia Action Week: ...
