Each year, sepsis affects over 84,000 Australians, and more than 12,000 will die. But many people don’t know what sepsis is.
❓Sepsis is a medical emergency, where any infection can quickly become life-threatening.
Sepsis happens when an infection sends the body’s immune system into overdrive, causing damage to tissues and organs. It needs early recognition and immediate treatment.
👇 Recognising the signs of sepsis early could save a life. These include: - Fever and chills - Low temperature - Uncontrolled shaking or shivering - Rapid breathing or rapid heart rate - Fatigue, confusion or disorientation - Not passing urine
👉 If you suspect sepsis in yourself or someone you care for, call 000 or to go to hospital. Just ask: “Could it be sepsis?”

It’s Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness Week (7 - 13 September), a national week to raise awareness of body image concerns and eating disorders.
More than 1.1 million Australians are impacted each year.
Eating disorders are serious and a complex mental health condition with no single cause.
It can develop due to a combination of biological, psychological and sociocultural factors.
Family and friends play an important role in support and recovery, and recovery is possible with the right treatment.
🏥 This year, takara narakupa opened in Launceston, Tasmania’s first dedicated community-based eating disorder treatment facility and a major milestone in improving access to specialist care.
The Tasmanian Eating Disorder Service (TEDS) team now provides community-based intensive treatment programs throughout Tasmania (Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie) bringing specialist care closer to communities.
A day program and Residential Recovery Program are also being developed at St Johns Park, Hobart which is due to be delivered in 2028.
👥 Where to get help? 👉 You can also refer yourself or someone that you are concerned about to Tasmanian Eating Disorder Service (TEDS) by calling Access Mental Health Phoneline on 1800 332 388 (available 24 hours, 7 days a week). 👉 You can speak confidentially to the Butterfly National Helpline. Call 1800 33 4673, 8 am to midnight, 7 days a week. 👉 If you or someone you know is experiencing distress, you are not alone. Call Lifeline (13 11 14) or Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467). 👉 If you or anyone else is in immediate danger, please call 000.
This week is a chance to challenge the growing influence of diet and wellness culture, explore how popular narratives about health, appearance and self-improvement can add to body unhappiness, disordered eating and eating disorders.
Eating disorders and body image concerns can affect anyone, and often aren’t visible from the outside. Through storytelling, education and community connection, you are encouraged to reflect on what wellness means to you and to build healthier relationships with food, movement and your bodies.
Please reach out to us if you need support! You are more than your appearance. 💛
