Mosquito-borne diseases

There have been a number of people testing positive for mosquito-borne diseases across regions in the Murrumbidgee. It is important to be vigilant, especially given the recent storms.

Own It

The 2024–25 ‘Own It’ national cervical screening campaign is now in full swing. To complement the campaign, the Department of Health and Aged Care have created an Own It stakeholder campaign toolkit and secondary toolkits for Australia’s most under-screened groups. 

The toolkits have been published at www.health.gov.au/own-it-toolkit  

Inside each toolkit you will find: 

  • key messages 

  • social media content to share 

  • quotes on cervical screening 

  • posters, postcards, and email signature images 

  • social media and posters you can add your own spin to 

  • resources on cervical screening including in-language material for the Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese speaking communities.
