The free BreastScreen mobile service is at Opal Street Cooroy from 7 to 28 October.

Screening is available from 7:30am to 3:00pm Monday to Friday.

Appointments
take less than 30 minutes and you don’t need a doctor’s referral.

Breast screening is recommended every two years and is most effective for women aged
50 to 74.  

Call 13 20 50 or visit the BreastScreen website to learn more.

The exhibition showcases fascinating, handmade jewellery and metal art. 

The work is as varied as the silversmiths who make it – from original modern classics to rustic, recycled
pieces.

Materials used include silver, gold, brass, copper, resin, stones and gems.

Three years of impact.
Now we’re ready to show you what comes next.

Join us for the official launch of Rise & Thrive Co. — an afternoon bringing together young people, families, schools, businesses and community leaders who believe in creating better pathways for our young people.

We’ll share the impact of our work so far, hear from young people, premiere our new short film, and give you a first look at what’s next for Rise & Thrive — including Checkpoint, our mobile outreach hub.

Brody Riseborough, UBX Mooloolaba: 500km for the Black Dog Institute

I’m back for another round of One Foot Forward after raising over $5,000 for the Black Dog Institute last year. This October a mate and I are aiming to cover 500km between us, raising money and awareness for mental health.

I own UBX Mooloolaba, a boxing and strength gym that’s about a lot more than training. It’s a place where people build real connections, feel safe, and get to leave the day’s stress on the floor. I’ve seen what spaces like ours do for people, and I truly believe a lot of tough mental health stories could be avoided if more people had somewhere like it.

The month wraps up with a big finale on Saturday 31 October. I’ll be running 50km, the furthest I’ve ever gone, in 10km loops starting and finishing at the gym. While I’m out there grinding, we’re throwing a community event with a coffee van, supplement stalls, a DJ, a BBQ breakfast and plenty more going on throughout the day.

Come down and jump in for a 10km loop, we’ll be heading off on the hour every hour, so run one or stick with me for as long as you can. Grab a coffee and a snag while you’re there, and help us raise as much as we can for the Black Dog Institute.
