It feels like it’s going to be a long hot summer! Ngaanyatjarra way we currently in wiltjanyina (sitting in shade time), and Jan/feb/march (hot season) is kurli . We need to be careful too - especially with our elders and tjitji. Here are some tips on how to prepare and help those who might need a bit more support on those really hot days!

Extreme heat can cause serious health problems, especially for people who are at greater risk of heat-related health impacts.

Palya! Listen out for our yarns about the importance of bowel screening! One of the people we spoke to was ex footballer Che Cockatoo-Collins.

He told us "For us men, it can be uneasy talking about this kind of business, but it’s important to screen not just for ourselves but our families who need us and care about us – think of others who want you around".

The test is FREE, SIMPLE AND PRIVATE. Speak to your health worker or family today! It's a campaign NG Media is proud to support! Read more here: https://www.cancer.org.au/bowelscreening/personal-stories/che-cockatoo-collins

You need to be good with language and have access to a phone.
