White Wreath Day - In Remembrance of all Victims of Suicide
A Commemoration Day remembering loved ones, friends and work colleagues who have taken their lives by tragic means. Suicide is shockingly common, affecting almost every Australian family directly or indirectly. It can strike a child, a brother, a grandparent or a co-worker. It can strike someone of any background. It can strike at any stage of life, from childhood to old age. No community is unaffected, no school or workplace untouched.
All are welcome to attend, please see upcoming events and the white wreath flyer.
Services are continuously added, for more information please contact White Wreath.

Haemochromatosis Awareness Week
Haemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder in Australia, affecting 1 in 200 people of European origin. The disorder is not well-known and under diagnosed. Early diagnosis and treatment will completely prevent long term damage and illness. Haemochromatosis causes the body to absorb excess iron which over time may lead to serious and life-threatening symptoms. Haemochromatosis Awareness Week will raise awareness of the condition in the community and promote early detection. Website: http://www.haemochromatosis.org.au |
