National Safe Work Month 2020
In Australia, October is National Safe Work Month - a time to make your commitment to improving safety and health in your workplace.
This year’s theme, Work Health and Safety through COVID-19, acknowledges and reflects the wide-reaching impacts of COVID-19 on Australian businesses, employers and workers.
Workplaces have had to quickly adapt their practices and procedures to reduce the WHS risks arising from COVID-19 and to manage the psychological effects of the pandemic on workers.

Men's Health Week 15-21 June 2020
This year Mens Health week highlights the importance of taking the time to have regular check ups with a general practitioner and regular check-ins with your loved ones. This week is an opportunity to grow our understanding of the health issues impacting men, to explore the unique challenges men face in managing their physical and mental health and to promote strategies that break down barriers to good health.
Tips from menshealthweek.org.au to manage your health
- Be active in getting medical help if you don't feel well, have a problem that wont go away or notice unusual symptoms
- Its ok to seek help - don't try to do everything on your own or bury problems. Talk to your loved ones, mates or colleagues
- Push hard to get the help you need to manage your life, work, family and financial needs
- Partners - be proactive in helping your men and boys get the help they and you need
- Use available hotlines, speak with professionals to get the best course of action and be persistent.
Don't leave it too late to see help
