It’s Women’s Health Week!
Dear Wellers Hill women – We know you’re busy looking after your family, but do you make sure to care for yourself?
Regular health checks can help to detect health problems early, so they can be more easily treated. We encourage women aged 45-49 to have their one-off health assessment, and all women over 75 and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have their annual check-ups. These are free for patients.
The Jean Hailes Women’s Health organisation has put together an informative booklet, checklists and more, to help women be informed and empowered with their health.
See the booklet here: Your guide to women’s health booklet | Jean Hailes
And health checklist here: Health checks for women (jeanhailes.org.au)
If you notice anything unusual with your body or habits, don’t delay, speak with your GP.
