It's Loneliness Awareness Week.

This August, we're joining the call to make room for connection and raise awareness of the impact loneliness and social isolation can have on people and communities.

Connection doesn't have to be a big gesture. It could be sharing a smile, saying hello, inviting someone to join you, or taking a moment to check in. These small but deliberate actions can help people feel welcome, included and connected.

We're proud to be a place where people can connect, stay active and feel part of the community.

Today is World Drowning Prevention Day.

Today we join communities around the world in recognising the importance of drowning prevention and water safety awareness. The day serves as a reminder that drowning prevention is everyone's responsibility and that together we can help reduce preventable water-related
incidents.

Whether it's actively supervising children, learning CPR, enrolling in swimming lessons or simply sharing water safety messages, every action contributes to safer communities.

Let's continue working together to create safer experiences in and around the water.

💙 Anyone can drown, but no one should.

Small actions can make a big difference around water.

Ahead of World Drowning Prevention Day, we're encouraging everyone to refresh their water safety knowledge and help create safer aquatic environments for all.

Things you can do:
✅ Supervise children at all times around water
✅ Learn CPR and emergency response skills
✅ Check pool gates and barriers are secure
✅ Keep learning and practising safe behaviours around water
✅ Encourage friends and family to do the same

Every small step we take can help save lives.

World Drowning Prevention Day is coming up on 25 July.

Every year, this global awareness day shines a light on the importance of water safety and the simple actions that can help prevent drowning. Drowning can happen quickly and quietly, but many incidents are preventable through awareness, supervision, education and preparedness.

As we approach World Drowning Prevention Day, take a moment to think about how you can help keep yourself, your family and your community safe around water.

💙 Anyone can drown, but no one should.

📢 Temporary Closure for Maintenance

Please note that we will be closed for a short maintenance period from Monday, 13 July and will reopen mid August.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we complete these important works and look forward to welcoming you back when we reopen.

Thank you for your continued support! 💙

This NAIDOC Week, we recognise 50 years of celebrating the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The 2026 theme, “50 Years of Deadly”, marks a significant milestone and reflects on the contributions of Elders, leaders, and communities across the country.

This week, we take this opportunity to acknowledge and learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and perspectives, and to reflect on their ongoing contributions to our communities.
