🔥 TEAM SNAPSHOT – WULGURU UNITED U15 FQPL 🔥

We are proud to introduce Wulguru United FC's inaugural U15 FQPL team for the 2026 season!

Led by Head Coach Charlie Melville and Assistant Coach Joe McGhie, this talented group of young footballers is embracing the challenge of competing at the highest level of junior football in North Queensland.

Charlie brings decades of football experience and knowledge to the club, holding a Football Australia B Licence and having coached at the highest levels across New Zealand & North Queensland football. His focus extends beyond results, with a strong commitment to developing quality footballers and quality young people.

As Charlie explains:

*"My mission is to help shape our players both on and off the field to play and develop their football to a high standard—through hard work, humility, and discipline. We play the game with passion and sportsmanship, showing respect to teammates, opponents, referees, and parents. We train and compete in an environment that is enjoyable, supportive, and focused on learning and growing. In everything we do, we aim to stay humble, stay hungry, and play the game the right way."*

The future is bright for this group, and we couldn't be prouder of the way they represent the Wulguru United spirit every time they step onto the pitch.

👏 Keep working hard.
⚽ Keep playing with passion.
💚 Keep the Wulguru spirit alive.

Good luck to Charlie, Joe, and all of our U15 FQPL players for the remainder of the season. Go Wulguru! 🔴⚪🟢

We are excited to have one of our own, Greg Dean as part of the AIOH26 organising committee! 🎉

The committee has started working behind the scenes and we can confidently say this is going to be an incredible event.

AIOH conferences are where our profession really comes alive - connecting people, sharing ideas, and pushing occupational hygiene forward in meaningful ways.

The committee is building a strong program with some exciting content in development, and there’s so much more to come.

A timely reminder.

Queensland mineral mine and quarry workers’ exposure to respiratory hazards such as dusts (e.g. silica), welding fumes and diesel particulates can lead to lung diseases.

These include pneumoconioses (e.g. silicosis and siderosis), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (e.g. chronic bronchitis and emphysema) and lung cancer.

By 1 September 2022, mineral mine and quarry workers must have a lung health check completed. This is the site senior executive’s responsibility and paid for by the employer. Penalties may apply for failure to meet these requirements.

The medical examination includes:
- a chest examination
- a dual-read chest X-ray
- spirometry
- other examinations deemed necessary by the doctor (e.g. CT scan).

A list of doctors is available online.

Some useful information on Occupational lung diseases and their causes.

Occupational lung diseases are work-related lung conditions of the respiratory system. Lung diseases can develop rapidly or develop many years after the first exposure to a particular hazard. Some can also lead to cancer.
