Today is White Ribbon Day and we’re starting a conversation to reduce future incidences of violence, promote gender equality and start building positive relationships based on respect. Understanding the causes, types and impact empowers people to choose speaking up over silence.

Be a part of the world’s largest movement engaging men and boys to see violence against women as their problem to fix, not women’s problem to tolerate.

International Men’s Day recognises that there are a broad variety of laws, values and viewpoints around the world that affect men and boys in different countries, in different ways.

International Men’s Day places a focus on that which unites humanity, giving everyone who wants to celebrate International Men’s Day the opportunity to work together towards the day’s six key objectives, which apply equally to all males irrespective of their age, ability, social background, legal status, race, beliefs, sexual orientation or gender identity.

National Skin Cancer Action Week (17-23 November) highlights that we need to do more to promote sun protection.

Fortunately, most skin cancers can be prevented by using all five forms of sun protection when the UV level is 3 or higher:

👌 Slip on sun protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible.
👌 Slop on SPF 50 or SPF50+, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. Apply 20 minutes before going outdoors and every two hours afterwards.
👌 Slap on a hat – broad brim or legionnaire style to protect your face, head, neck and ears.
👌 Seek shade.
👌Slide on sunglasses – make sure they meet Australian Standards
