From the editor

Some places just make you pause, in the best possible way.

When I visited the Bloomhill Wellness Centre in Buderim recently, that’s exactly how I felt.

There’s a calm that wraps around you the moment you walk in and see its beautiful gardens. It’s quiet, warm and deeply comforting – almost like a sacred space.

We really are so lucky to have this incredible centre right here on the Sunshine Coast.

In this issue, we introduce you to four incredibly strong, courageous women who generously share their cancer journeys. They’re honest, emotional and full of perspective. Each of these women speaks about what Bloomhill has meant to them: not just for care, but also for connection, understanding and simply having somewhere to go where they feel held.

With Mother’s Day coming up, Bloomhill is also inviting our community to be part of something really special. Its Mother’s Day pledge is a beautiful way to honour someone you love by making a donation in their name, with all donations going to support Bloomhill's nursing team. Turn to page 12 for the full story.

Until next week, enjoy the read.

NDIS CUTS REVEALED IN PRE-BUDGET SPEECH

Government aims to reduce numbers on the scheme by 160,000 by the end of this decade and bring down the average costs of client plans.

Eligibility will be tightened and financial support reduced as part of sweeping measures designed to rein in spending of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Health Minister Mark Butler revealed the changes to the $50 billion scheme in a major address to the National Press Club recently. As part of the changes, standardised assessments will be rolled out, with a list of diagnoses no longer the sole standard of access.

The government is aiming to reduce the number of people on the NDIS from about 760,000 now to 600,000 by the end of the 2020s: lower than forecasts of more than 900,000 at current rates.

An advisory group, the disability community and states and territories will help formulate the eligibility tests.

Those who don’t meet the benchmark for inclusion will be directed to other support services.

“(People have) been told this is the only program available or that this is the help their child needs,” Mr Butler says.

“It is our responsibility to make sure that, in the future, these Australians are pointed to the right place.”

The minister also announced that changes would bring the average cost of plans down to $26,000 per year, from $31,000 in 2026.

The plan spend will be in line with levels from 2023.

While the minister says the government had been seeking to reduce growth of the scheme, spending will be reduced to 2 per cent each year over the next four years, before going back to 5 per cent in 2030. – AAP.

CRUISE CONTROL ‘NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFETY’: STUDY

Many motorists rely on cruise control to stay under the speed limit, but new research from the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) claims this technology is not foolproof.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a feature in modern cars that adjusts a driver’s selected cruising speed to maintain a designated gap with the vehicle ahead.

The UniSC research found that ACC systems in many of the most popular cars in Queensland might not adhere to the state government’s safe following-distance recommendations.

The study, led by Dr Michelle Nicolls from the Motor Accident Insurance Commission/UniSC Road Safety Research Collaboration, found that just two of the 20 car manufacturers analysed had available settings that expressly followed Queensland guidelines.

“The Queensland government recommends maintaining at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle in front,” Dr Nicolls says.

“But the majority of vehicle manuals explored in our study either did not specify what gap they employed or used metres to describe gap distances, which may make it difficult for drivers to set their car to follow the guidelines.

“Drivers trusting their ACC system to

maintain the correct following distance are not only risking their safety, they might be breaking Queensland law if following too closely to the vehicle in front.

“It’s possible that many drivers aren’t aware of the discrepancy, given the lack of clarity and specifics listed in car manuals.”

It’s not the only unsafe way motorists might be using the technology.

“This technology has several limitations, with many manuals recommending ACC be switched off under poor driving conditions like rain, fog and glare,” Dr Nicolls says.

“And we know from previous research that more than 50 per cent of motorists will still use ACC in poor conditions, despite manufacturer recommendations.”

This technology is also limited in heavy congestion, and frequent stopping and starting traffic.

“These are high-risk areas associated with rear-end crashes. However the use of ACC may not be appropriate in these places,” she says.

“It’s important that motorists understand the limitations of these technologies and consider whether they’re using them properly.

“ACC might be convenient as a driving tool but it’s not a substitute for safety.

“Drivers still need to exercise good judgment and caution.”

In the 1840s, early photography subjects were often told to say “prunes” instead of “cheese” when having their picture taken. A London photographer encouraged the word because it kept the mouth tight and expression more serious. At the time, broad smiles were considered childish or improper. Portraits typically featured composed, almost stern faces rather than the grinning photos we’re used to today.

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

Bloomhill Cancer Care is a community-based, nurse-led cancer support service whose staff ‘walk alongside’ cancer patients in managing treatment side effects and improving wellbeing. WORDS: Ingrid Nelson.

There’s a quiet kind of magic that happens at Bloomhill Cancer Care. It’s not loud or dramatic, but it’s deeply felt. It’s in the way people are welcomed, in the time they’re given and in the steady presence of nurses such as Helen Dunne, who walk alongside patients through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

Helen, who has been with Bloomhill for five years as the charity’s clinical services lead, says it’s the ability to say “yes” to whoever walks through their door that sets them apart.

“It’s about supporting people emotionally, as well as clinically and giving them time,” Helen says. “We are not looking at the clock. We do everything we can to make time, so the client doesn’t feel rushed.

“I think that’s really important.”

It’s a simple idea, but in a healthcare landscape often defined by waitlists and time limits, it’s transformative. At Bloomhill, care doesn’t follow a one-sizefits-all model. Instead, it’s tailored to each individual, their diagnosis, their stage of treatment and their personal needs.

Support can extend to exercise physiology, group programs and social

connection, which Helen says are all proven to help manage treatment side effects and improve wellbeing.

“We try to connect people with what they need to help them through holistically,” Helen says.

“It might be that they’re highly stressed and would benefit from touch therapy, or it might be help with lymphedema care and education they need.”

Helen says that for many patients, the real challenges begin after treatment ends – and it’s a gap Bloomhill is uniquely positioned to fill.

“They go through this really long treatment regime … and it’s after this where Bloomhill picks up,” she says.

Programs and support groups also connect carers with one another, creating a shared understanding that can be just as vital.

“We understand that caring for someone who is facing cancer can be all-consuming and stressful. Carers may have their own concerns that they want to talk about privately without worrying their loved ones,” Helen says.

Surrounded by gardens, quiet spaces and a sense of calm, the Bloomhill Wellness Centre at Buderim offers something many patients don’t often experience in clinical

settings: a place to just be. It’s almost like a sacred place, where visitors feel a sense of calm the moment they enter the grounds.

“It’s such a beautiful space here,” Helen says. “I always say to people when they first come in, the gardens are here for you … you can just go and sit.”

Most importantly, the nursing services, education workshops and support groups at Bloomhill are free. But with a small team of part-time nurses and an increasing demand for care, they need our continued support to ensure this invaluable service continues to thrive.

Thanks to our community, Bloomhill is able to fund nursing hours, allowing the team to provide flexible, unhurried care.

With demand continuing to grow, further support will help ensure more families can access this care when they need it most.

“We are seeing more and more people needing support’’ Helen says. “To continue providing this level of care, we need to grow our nursing capacity.”

The impact of that support is visible in the smallest moments: a conversation that isn’t cut short, a patient who is seen immediately, a family who feels held rather than rushed.

For Helen, those moments define

the work. “At it’s core, Bloomhill is about showing up when people need it most,” she says.

Support Bloomhill this Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day, Bloomhill Cancer Care is inviting the community to honour the people who have stood beside them in life’s hardest moments with a gesture that carries real impact.

A personalised message can also be shared alongside each donation.

Together with the BLOOMED Mother’s Day Luncheon, the community is working towards a shared goal of raising $70,000 to support Bloomhill’s nursing team. Every donation helps ensure Sunshine Coast families continue to receive personalised, compassionate cancer care when they need it most.

Four women, four journeys

For the four women featured on this month’s cover – each at a different stage of their cancer journey – the support they have received from Bloomhill has meant something unique and deeply personal.

Maree

Maree is a mum of three and a Sunshine Coast local. In May 2024, she was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer and has since moved through treatment with the support of her family, friends and the team at Bloomhill.

How has your perspective on life changed since your diagnosis? I’ve come to realise that the people in your life are what matters most. Our time is finite and this experience has reminded me how important it is to spend it making life gentler, kinder and better for the people around us.

How have you coped emotionally throughout your experience? My family, friends and community have carried me through more than they probably know. Every message of love and support has meant so much. My husband has been my anchor, holding me up with so much care and love.

What services or support from Bloomhill have made the biggest difference for you? The small-group exercise sessions have been such an important part of my journey. They offer more than physical support. They create space for connection.

What advice would you give to someone newly diagnosed? I try to simply sit with them and listen, because their fears are real and overwhelming. I encourage

them to trust their medical team and invite them for a coffee at Bloomhill, to gently introduce them to the support available.

Is there anything you wish more people knew about organisations such as Bloomhill? Bloomhill is such a special place. It’s a hub of healthcare and wellness, but also so much more. There is a deep sense of understanding, and whatever your need may be, they help you find support, guidance or a way forward.

Alex

Alex is a young mum to two little girls. At just 30, she was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer: a moment that shifted everything and brought a new perspective on life, family and what truly matters.

How has your perspective on life changed since your diagnosis? Coming face to face with your own mortality at 30 changes everything. In a way, it has been a blessing. I now truly understand how precious life is and not to take a single day for granted.

How have you coped emotionally throughout your experience? It has been an emotional roller-coaster, but my support network has been everything. My husband, family, friends and even people I have met along the way. My girls have also been a

huge source of strength, bringing me back to the present and reminding me what really matters.

What services or support from Bloomhill have made the biggest difference for you? For me, it has been the nurses. They are incredible. I know I can reach out at any time and be met with support and advice.

Is there anything you wish more people knew about organisations such as Bloomhill? They are a true hub for people going through cancer. From exercise classes and counselling to massage and nursing care, there is so much support all in one place.

Leanne

Leanne is a wife, mum and grandmother who has faced cancer more than once in her life and is now living with stage 4 melanoma. Through it all, she has found strength in her family, her community and the support of Bloomhill.

How has your perspective on life changed since your diagnosis? One hundred per cent, without question – for me, it is time. Time is so precious and I do not take it for granted. It is not lost on me that I am here and I will be forever grateful.

How have you coped emotionally throughout your experience? Connection. Connecting with family, friends and the community around me, and also reconnecting with myself through meditation and yoga.

What services or support from Bloomhill have made the biggest difference for you? Psychology, yoga, meditation, massage and the nursing staff have all played such an important role in supporting me throughout my journey.

Is there anything you wish more people knew about organisations such as Bloomhill? It is vital to have organisations like Bloomhill. It’s somewhere I feel safe and understood. Art therapy has also been incredibly important, creating a safe and supportive space to be seen and heard alongside others on a similar journey.

Linda

Linda has learnt to move through life differently since her diagnosis, focusing less on pushing through and more on taking each day as it comes.

How has your perspective on life changed since your diagnosis? I do not feel the need to push myself anymore. I go with the flow and take life as it comes, focusing on doing things I enjoy and making time to socialise.

How have you coped emotionally throughout your experience? Bloomhill has been a restful haven for me. The staff have helped me feel safe through every change I have experienced. The exercise programs have been wonderful.

What services or support from Bloomhill have made the biggest difference for you? Art therapy has made the biggest difference for me.

Is there anything you wish more people knew about organisations such as Bloomhill? Bloomhill provides a safe and supportive environment that plays an important role alongside medical treatment. It offers care, understanding and connection when you need it most.

What is Bloomhill?

Bloomhill Cancer Care is a communitybased organisation, providing nurse-led support for men, women and families impacted by cancer on the Sunshine Coast.

Each year, more than 1700 people walk through the centre’s doors. Some are newly diagnosed, others are navigating treatment, and many are learning how to live beyond it. Behind each of them is a team providing personalised care – from nursing and counselling through to allied health and wellness support.

Demand for these services continues to grow, as more people face a cancer diagnosis and look for support that goes beyond the hospital system.

At Bloomhill, that care is local and deeply personal, ensuring no one walks their cancer journey alone.

The Sunshine Coast Business Women Network’s (SCBWN) April Breakfast was something special. Guests enjoyed a breakfast at The Lakehouse, Mountain Creek, while keynote speaker Nikki FogdenMoore shared what it really means to lead in today’s modern world. The conversation reminded us that sustainable success is about balance, energy and making decisions that support the life we’re building.

MUM’S PODCAST HITS 8 MILLION DOWNLOADS

A ‘chaotic side project’ has turned into a global community of listeners rethinking their relationship with alcohol. WORDS: Abbey Cannan

Apodcast recorded in a Sunshine Coast bedroom has struck a powerful chord around the world, racking up more than 8 million downloads and earning a prestigious industry nomination.

The Sober Awkward podcast, created and hosted by Victoria Vanstone, has been named a finalist for Best Independent Podcaster of the Year at the Australian Audio Awards. What began as a “slightly chaotic side project” has grown into a global

community of listeners rethinking their relationship with alcohol.

Victoria, an award-winning writer and author, says the idea for the podcast came from her own experience with drinking and sobriety.

“I was a binge drinker for 25 years – the life and soul of every party, pub and dodgy dancefloor,” she says.

“My drinking was so normalised that I never really questioned it. I just bought the next round of shots and accepted that alcohol was how you had fun.”

After becoming a parent, however, her perspective began to change.

“I began experiencing really bad anxiety and a lot of shame, especially on those Sundays when I was too hungover to properly take care of my kids,” she says.

“That’s when I started to re-evaluate the role alcohol played in my life and in society as a whole.”

Victoria turned to therapy and began unpacking her relationship with alcohol, eventually choosing sobriety.

She says the experience revealed a gap for people who felt caught between heavy drinking and traditional recovery spaces.

“Early on in my sobriety, I realised there are so many people like me, stuck somewhere between the pub and an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meeting,” Victoria says.

That realisation led her to start writing and podcasting, sharing a candid and often humorous account of life without alcohol.

The nomination, she says, reflects a broader cultural shift: “I really believe things are changing. People are becoming much more aware of their mental and physical health and the impact alcohol has on the nervous system.”

Victoria has observed a growing acceptance of sobriety, particularly among younger generations.

“When I first got sober, saying ‘I don’t drink’ felt like a big, awkward announcement. Now, it’s far more accepted,” she says.

“Gen Z are drinking less, choosing a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle, and the alcohol industry is starting to feel that.”

She believes the podcast’s success highlights a quiet but widespread conversation taking place.

“It feels slightly surreal that creating a podcast in my son’s bedroom and completely winging it at first has turned into something like this,” she says.

For Victoria, the message is simple: “Sobriety isn’t about missing out. It’s about authenticity, about being brave enough to just be yourself on a night out. The dancing might be awkward at first … but I can still do a pretty mean swan dive.”

The Sober Awkward podcast is available on all platforms. Visit soberawkward.com.

A local mobile food delivery service for seniors, people with a disability and their carers clocked up 40 years recently.

Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels delivers nutritious meals four times a week to those in need.

“Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels has grown from 22 clients in 1986 to over 200 clients today who benefit from having nutritious meals delivered to their homes,” service manager Gerard Rollo says.

“Last year, we delivered over 3200 meals to members of the local community. It is a privilege to be able to continue the work started 40 years ago.

“We have over 200 volunteers who help us provide this much-needed service – more than just a meal, but a social connection and check-in to

ensure our clients are doing okay.”

Member for Ninderry Dan Purdie publicly praised the organisation at its recent 40th anniversary celebration.

“I’d like to congratulate them on their 40th anniversary and thank all their amazing volunteers for the worthwhile contribution they make,” Mr Purdie says.

“A regular visit and a friendly chat make a huge difference to people who live alone.

“This social contact is just as important as a healthy, cooked meal.”

More than 80 clients and volunteers gathered at the Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels centre in Santa Monica Avenue to celebrate the 40-year milestone.

Dr Wyn Lewis, who was the founding president in 1986 when the centre was officially opened, was guest of honour.

HOW LOCAL BUSINESSES CAN HELP END HUNGER THROUGH SPONSORSHIPS

The Everyday Foundation is calling on generous local businesses to join with the organisation in ending hunger on the Sunshine Coast at an annual long lunch fundraiser.

The Nambour-based charity has announced its third annual Zaleta Love Food, Give Food Long Lunch to be held on Friday, August 28, at Flaxton Gardens.

Last year, the event raised more than $200,000, providing vital funds that made a real difference in the community amid rising cost-of-living pressures.

General manager Karen Gullo says the event is a practical opportunity for businesses from all over the region to show their support

for food relief on the Coast through table or event sponsorships.

“We have a number of businesses that are repeat sponsors of the event,” Karen says. “For them, it’s a way to show how dedicated they are to helping locals doing it tough, while giving them the opportunity to treat their staff and clients to a fun and impactful day out.”

Guests will sit down to a four-course meal with grazing and drinks into the late afternoon, along with a live and silent auction.

“The generosity of our guests last year made a huge impact on so many lives and we’re confident we’ll be able to beat last year’s total to meet even more people in their place of need,” Karen says.

WHO ARE YOU RUNNING FOR?

It’s back – bigger and better than ever. Wishlist K’s 4 Cancer returns on Sunday, May 17, with strong support already building across the Sunshine Coast community.

It’s an opportunity for people of all ages to come together to walk, run and enjoy the outdoors in a day filled with fun, fitness and friendship.

For many participants, this event means far more than exercise. K’s 4 Cancer is about running for a reason.

Many take part to honour loved ones facing cancer, to support family and friends on that journey, or to remember those who have sadly passed away. It is a day that reflects courage, hope and community spirit.

For our own family, this year’s event will be especially meaningful as we remember our beautiful sister, sister-in-

– not just financially, but to our environment and the people who volunteer their time to protect it. You can report incidents or damage quickly using Sunshine Coast Council’s app or, for urgent matters, call police on 000.

Planned burn program

The council’s annual planned burn program is underway. These carefully managed burns

law and aunt, Frances. Those who know our family understand what a treasure Frances was and the revered place she continues to hold in all our hearts.

That is what makes this event so special. It is not simply about fitness or finishing times. It is about people coming together for a cause that touches so many families.

If you have joined in before, you will know the uplifting atmosphere and strong sense of community the day creates. If you have never taken part, why not make this your first year?

Bring the kids, the dog, your family and friends. You can walk, jog, run or simply stroll at your own pace.

Events like this remind us of the power of community and the difference we can make when we stand together.

With the generous support of major sponsor Sunshine Toyota and many others, K’s 4 Cancer has become an important and much-loved event on the Wishlist calendar. So, the question is simple: who are you running for?

HEARTS ARE RACING AS LADIES OAKS DAY EXCITEMENT BUILDS

With live music and festival-style events in short supply, 91.1 Hot FM’s Ladies Oaks Day is set to deliver one of the best-value entertainment experiences on the Sunshine Coast.

The over-18s event returns on Friday, May 29, at Sunshine Coast Turf Club’s Corbould Park racecourse in Caloundra, featuring Will Sparks live on stage after the final race.

Renowned as the Coast’s hottest annual party, Ladies Oaks Day combines twilight racing, fashion, food, DJs and live music into a full day-to-night experience.

Organisers say this year offers more inclusions and better value than ever, particularly for those who buy early online.

“With so many live music options disappearing, we’re proud to be offering a major entertainment experience that genuinely delivers value for money,” Sunshine Coast Turf Club chief executive John Miller says.

And 91.1 Hot FM general manager Rod Winner adds: “When you look at everything included with live thoroughbred horse racing, touring DJs, Will Sparks, hospitality and activations,

buying tickets online now, especially with a value pack, is an absolute steal.”

IHEY SIRI, THANKS FOR LISTENING

Ashley Robinson has found a friend in Apple’s voice-activated virtual assistant and only one thing stops her from being perfect.

had a bizarre day last week. It started with a trip to watch our granddaughter run in her Year 4 cross country at Talara Primary College.

Now, she is a deadset sprinter but has a crack at everything. She told her father she was going to sprint out in front, get a lead and see what happens. Her dad told her it was not a great idea – “maybe you should pace yourself” – which went down like a lead balloon.

So, Old Mate and I headed off to watch her. As I was driving, listening to my messages on Siri, I became aware that Old Mate had added another string to her bow as a passenger: not only working part-time for the Highway Patrol, telling me how many road rules I was breaking, but also now reprimanding me about talking over Siri.

“Bloody hell, it’s a computer,” I said. But Old Mate went on about how she knows how Siri feels, as I talk over her as well.

The race went exactly how our little champion planned, apart from the end. She was 100m in front at the start and held that until they ran out of sight. But when they came back, she was 6th. I had to admit, a pretty solid effort with no training. As

expected, she does what she wants – despite any advice. It was funny. A lasting memory.

Later in the day, I was getting ready to go to the Mix FM radio station where I do a little session with Sami and Friends – always fun. Old Mate had an appointment as well.

She was leaving before me but pointed out that my hair needed a trim. I explained that my trimmers were not for haircuts, just trimming, and she wouldn’t have time. But she decided to give me a haircut anyway.

Well, half a haircut until the trimmers died and she had to leave, telling me: “I will do the rest when I get back.” I reminded her that I had to go to the studio. “Oops. I forgot. Wear a hat,” was the reply, with hysterical laughter, adding that I looked like a monk.

After she left, I tried to fix it but wasn’t confident. I went off to the studio looking like Friar Tuck with a baseball cap. Fantastic.

It’s a family curse: no one listens. They all know everything. Heaven forbid I talk over them while they’re enlightening me.

I never have this trouble with Siri. She is rarely upset – apart from when I mumble and she can’t understand me – the only thing she has in common with Old Mate.

If only Siri could cook.

IA CHILDHOOD IN BLOSSOM

Sami Muirhead knows that children grow so quickly and mothers need to savour all the special moments with them.

’m writing from Japan, where I’ve been soaking up every minute of a very special trip with my youngest child, 11-year-old August.

Travel brings the good, the bad, the unexpected and the unforgettable – and we’ve had it all. Let me start with the cherry blossoms. I have daydreamed for decades about seeing those pale-pink blooms in real life and they did not disappoint. They are breathtaking. Soft, delicate and quietly joyful, they spark something deep in your soul.

What I wasn’t expecting was the wave of emotion that hit me. I was sitting on a park bench overlooking the sakura and a peaceful lake, watching my son catch falling petals in his baseball cap. I was smiling from ear to ear … and crying at the same time. In that moment, everything felt so clear. Life is beautiful. Life is fleeting. Life is meant to be lived. And one day, it will end for all of us.

It felt as if it was just yesterday when my youngest boy was four years old and we would split a milkshake together after we dropped his siblings at school before heading home to watch Play School on TV. Then, we had the toy Matchbox car phase

and the Monster Truck years. Early primary school was a blur of craft and learning to read. We played at the beach and diligently went to swimming lessons every Saturday. I would tuck my treasure into bed every night with a glass of milk and a story. And now my youngest child is in his final year of primary school. Gulp. Stop, Father Time! You are going too fast.

All of those thoughts rushed through me as I watched Augie under those falling blossoms. The sakura only bloom for about 10 days each year. Then, their cloud-like petals fall to the ground, gone almost as quickly as they arrived. And I realised: so do these moments.

I held my son’s hand tightly for most of the trip, knowing these might be some of the last times he wants to hold my hand in public; some of the last times he reaches for me when he’s hurt, hungry or bursting with something exciting to share. Now, cherry blossoms will forever remind me of my son. I would love a blossom tree in my backyard but they don’t thrive in the tropics. So, I am planting a jacaranda tree. New adventures and memories will come with each season and their falling purple petals.

Sami Muirhead is a radio announcer, blogger and commentator, wife and mum of three.

CLEAR VISION IN ONE VISIT DIGESTING

ABOUT IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional digestive disorder.

This means the digestive tract usually appears normal on tests, but it doesn’t function as it should.

People with IBS may experience abdominal pain, bloating, excess gas, constipation, diarrhoea or a combination of these. Symptoms often fluctuate and can significantly impact quality of life.

Digestion begins even before we take a bite. The sight and smell of food triggers saliva production, starting the breakdown of food in the mouth.

Proper chewing is essential. Food should be well broken down before swallowing to reduce digestive strain later.

Swallowing food too quickly or introducing excess air can contribute to bloating and discomfort.

Once swallowed, food mixes with stomach acids and is churned until emulsified, before moving into the intestines. From there, it travels through about 8m of digestive tract, where bile assists digestion, the microbiome further breaks down food, nutrients are absorbed and waste is formed before elimination.

In people with IBS, one or more parts of this coordinated process may be

disrupted. For example, sluggish intestinal contractions (called peristalsis) can slow movement through the gut. This may cause the stool to stagnate, leading to gas build-up, pain, bloating and, in some cases, sudden urgency.

IBS does not have a single cause.

Instead, it is influenced by a combination of factors. Stress, certain foods, hormonal shifts, travel, medications or bouts of gastroenteritis can all trigger symptom flares.

Effective IBS management requires a multi-faceted approach. Identifying dietary triggers, supporting gut healing, restoring microbiome balance, addressing stress and improving sleep and lifestyle habits all play key roles. Tools such as food diaries, elimination diets, gut-healing nutrients and mind-body therapies –including IBS-specific hypnotherapy – can be transformative.

Support is available. Always speak to your healthcare provider before taking any supplements or making drastic changes to your lifestyle.

Wellbeing Wednesday

Cataract surgery remains one of the safest and most effective procedures in modern medicine.

More than 95 per cent of patients experience improved vision.

Today, two advances are transforming the patient experience: dropless and bilateral cataract surgery.

Bilateral cataract surgery treats both eyes on the same day. Traditional care treats each eye weeks apart, requiring two hospital visits, two anaesthetics and a longer recovery.

With bilateral treatment, you complete surgery in one visit. You spend less time away from work and daily life. Vision often balances more quickly, which helps with depth perception, driving and mobility.

Modern techniques and strict safety protocols support this approach for carefully selected patients. They can avoid a second anaesthetic and reduce overall risk. In Australia, the cost remains similar to staged surgery, yet the time savings and convenience are clear.

Dropless cataract surgery simplifies recovery. Instead of using eye drops several times a day for weeks, your surgeon delivers medication directly into the eye at the end of surgery. This provides steady, precise treatment during healing.

You avoid missed doses, reduce irritation and remove the burden of administering drops. Many patients report a smoother recovery and less stress at home.

Ask your surgeon if dropless, bilateral cataract surgery suits your eyes and lifestyle.

ADVANCED ORTHOPAEDIC CARE FOR HAPPY HIPS, KNEES AND ANKLES

Orthopaedic care is evolving rapidly, with technology and treatment approaches offering patients more options than ever before.

One of the more significant advancements is robotic-assisted surgery, which allows for greater precision in joint replacement procedures.

“Robotic technology allows us to plan and perform surgery with a level of accuracy that wasn’t possible before,” says Dr Navi Bali, a Mako top 10 surgeon in Queensland for robotic Mako hip and knee replacements volume in 2024 and 2025.

“It has the potential benefits of better alignment and a smoother recovery for patients.”

Dr Bali added that surgery is not always the first step.

“Many patients benefit from nonoperative treatments such as PRP (plateletrich plasma) injections, which can reduce pain and support the body’s natural healing process,” he says. “There’s no age too young or too old to improve mobility. If lower-limb pain is impacting your functionality, we have options to get you back to the hobbies, exercise and lifestyle you love.”

Dr Bali consults at Sunny Coast Orthopaedic & Fracture Clinic and operates at Buderim Private Hospital and Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital. Get in touch to explore your options.

TECHNOLOGY WITH NOTHING TO SEE, EVERYTHING TO HEAR

Most people don’t notice the first time the TV volume slowly needs to be turned up and conversations take more effort.

Background noise starts to take over the voices you want to hear.

At first, it’s easy to adjust. You lean in more and ask people to repeat themselves.

You tell yourself it’s not much. But over time, something changes – not just in what you hear, but in how connected you feel.

That’s often when I meet people in the clinic.

If you’re noticing these changes or if you already wear hearing aids but still feel something isn’t quite right, you’re not alone.

Lyric is different. It doesn’t sit on your ear or require daily handling. It’s placed deep in the ear canal and stays there –

working quietly, 24 hours a day. No batteries. No visibility. No reminders. Just natural hearing, the way it’s meant to be.

On the Sunshine Coast, Hear Again

Audiology has been trusted to help people reconnect with the sounds and moments they’ve been missing.

As an independent clinic, the focus is simple: helping you hear in a way that feels effortless and right for your life.

Lyric is for the moments you don’t want to miss: the laughter at the table, the quiet conversations, the everyday sounds that make life feel full again.

Support at Home feature

Expert guidance to navigate transition

Third Act Advisory specialises in guiding you through the transition into retirement living with clarity and confidence.

Jane understands that moving into a retirement community is a significant life decision, and she is there to support you at every stage of the journey.

The new face of Support at Home

Caught between school drop-offs and specialist appointments, the ‘sandwich generation’ is quietly carrying one of the heaviest loads in modern life.

These are the time-poor Australians in their 40s and 50s, balancing careers, raising children and increasingly stepping into the role of carer for ageing parents. It’s a chapter defined by constant negotiation – between responsibility and rest, presence and practicality, love and logistics.

Against this already complex backdrop, Australia’s aged care system is undergoing its biggest reform in decades.

The new Support at Home program has replaced Home Care Packages with a more flexible, needs-based model.

But for many families and providers, the transition has brought confusion as much as opportunity, adding another layer of pressure at a time when clarity matters most.

For Simon Lockyer, CEO and founder of Five Good Friends, this is where smarter, more transparent support becomes essential.

Its purpose-built platform allows families to view care schedules, communicate with helpers and track visit notes in real time, giving members of the sandwich generation the visibility and peace of mind they need, wherever they are.

At the same time, Five Good Friends is helping members and families understand exactly what they’re entitled to under the new system and how to make the most of their funding.

On page 29, Simon shares insight into navigating reform, reducing overwhelm and

rethinking what meaningful support at home can look like for a generation stretched in every direction.

We also turn to Suncare Community Services, which has worked alongside individuals, families and carers for more than 55 years, providing in-home care that’s practical, flexible and genuinely personal. It’s support designed to help people stay in the homes they know and love for longer.

And at Comlink Australia, the focus is on what it really means to live well at home.

This team believes independence, connection and support should be accessible at every age and stage of life.

Through tailored Support at Home services – from help with meals and cleaning to personal care and maintaining home and garden – Comlink is helping people stay connected to their communities, with care that feels empowering and deeply human.

All About Living shares practical, thoughtful tips on staying healthy and well as winter approaches because, in a season that can place extra strain on carers and those they support, small, proactive steps can make a meaningful difference.

Together, these voices highlight a shift towards more human-centred, responsive care where technology, compassion and community intersect.

For the sandwich generation, it’s not just about managing competing demands, but finding support systems that genuinely lighten the load and make caring feel sustainable, not overwhelming.

In this special feature, we bring these perspectives together, exploring how providers are responding to reform, easing uncertainty, and reshaping care at home.

The approach is personalised and considered. Jane takes the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences and future goals, so she can connect you with options that genuinely feel like home.

Whether you’re ready to make a move or simply exploring what’s possible, Third Act Advisory offers expert guidance, in-depth research and practical advice

to help you make informed decisions – at your own pace. When the time is right, Jane will be by your side, making the process reassuring and straightforward.

Jane can also assist with comparing different communities, understanding contracts and costs, and navigating the emotional aspects of downsizing and change. Her goal is to remove the overwhelm and replace it with confidence, so you feel empowered in every decision you make. With a trusted, experienced advisor by your side, you’ll never feel alone in the process.

RETIREMENT LIVING STARTS

The quest for care: what Support at Home should look like

Comlink Australia staff believe living well at home starts with feeling independent, connected and supported, no matter your age or stage of life.

Their Support at Home services are designed to make everyday life easier, while helping you stay connected to the community you love. Whether you need a hand with meals, cleaning, personal care or looking after your home and garden, Comlink Australia can support you in a way that feels right for you.

But for its team, care goes beyond the basics. They believe prevention is better than cure, and that staying active and socially connected plays a pivotal role in your overall wellbeing.

That’s why a vibrant calendar of social events is offered five days a week – from exercise classes and creative workshops to group lunches and scenic outings. The bi-monthly Social Event Guide makes it easy to find something you’ll enjoy and look forward to.

The reliable, door-to-door Community Transport service helps you get to appointments, run errands or join social activities with confidence. It’s a safe, affordable alternative to taxis, supporting your independence without needing to rely on family or friends.

Comlink Australia also can support your health and wellbeing through allied health services, including exercise physiology, occupational therapy, speech pathology, dietetics and podiatry. In partnership with the Vitality Movement Centre at Vitality Village in Birtinya, a welcoming space is offered where movement feels enjoyable and achievable.

With personalised programs and state-of-the-art equipment, you can build strength, improve mobility and keep doing the things you love.

Comlink Australia will walk alongside you, not just to support you at home, but also to help you live a full, active and connected life.

Visit comlinkaustralia.com.au.

Supporting independence at home, your way

There’s something deeply comforting about home. It’s where routines feel familiar, memories live and independence feels possible – even as our needs change.

Across the Sunshine Coast, more older locals are choosing to stay at home for as long as they can, with the right support around them. That belief sits at the heart of everything Suncare Community Services does.

For more than 55 years, Suncare has worked alongside individuals, families and carers to provide in-home care that’s practical, flexible and genuinely personal.

Its approach is simple: start by listening, because good care isn’t just about tasks, it’s about understanding what matters to each person and helping them live well, in their own way.

Support can look different for everyone. For some, it’s help around the house or getting to appointments. For others, it’s clinical support, social connections, respite for carers or guidance navigating aged care services. Whatever the need, Suncare’s focus is on building trusted relationships and offering care that feels respectful, reliable and human.

As Australia’s aged care system continues to evolve, having clear information and local support has never been more important. Suncare’s team is here to help people understand their options, plan ahead and access services that support independence and wellbeing – without being overwhelmed.

Suncare staff are proud to be part of the Coast community, supporting clients to remain connected to the places and people they love.

Growing older shouldn’t mean giving up your lifestyle: it should mean having the right support to keep living it.

After all, it’s your life, and Suncare is here to help you live it.

Winter wellness: simple steps for a healthier season

With winter just around the corner, it’s important for older Australians to prioritise their health, safety and connection to the community.

Dressing for the weather –dressing in layers can reduce the impact of the cold on older people. Scarves, hats and warm socks are a great addition when heading outdoors.

Keeping active – regular physical activity benefits mood and keeps the body strong. Try gentle movement such as walking, stretching or chair exercises to help maintain strength, balance and circulation.

Eating nourishing meals – warm, balanced meals can support immunity and provide essential energy and nutrients during winter. Staying hydrated can be harder in colder months. Warm teas and broths offer a comforting alternative to water.

Staying connected to avoid isolation – winter can increase feelings of loneliness and isolation. It’s important to maintain social connections in person or virtually.

Reduce hazards –taking small steps such as wearing sturdy, non-slip shoes can help reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Get cosy – now is the time to check heating systems to ensure they are running effectively. Sealing drafts and heating living areas keep the house snug and inviting.

Stay healthy –during winter it’s even more important to stay on top of your health. Make sure flu shots and vaccinations are up to date and continue with regular health appointments.

A little preparation goes a long way in helping seniors stay healthy, comfortable and connected throughout winter.

If you need some assistance, All About Living can help.

Support that feels like friendship is changing home care in the region

For the growing number of Sunshine Coast families navigating care for an ageing parent, often while raising their own children, Five Good Friends offers something different.

Since 2016, this home care provider has been built on a single powerful belief: that care, done well, feels like friendship.

Friendship is the answer

It started with a question: why do some people live longer, happier lives in the homes and communities they love and what do they all have in common?

The golden thread is friendship.

The evidence is overwhelming. Good relationships keep us healthier and happier as we age.

Staying connected to family, friends and community is everything.

Having people who support and protect us from life’s slings and arrows is incredibly powerful.

Understanding this inspired Five Good Friends to reimagine care from the ground up.

“Our vision, our mission, our privilege is to help people live full, independent lives in their own homes,” says Simon Lockyer, CEO and co-founder.

“Every visit helps keep those we serve connected: to their family, friends and community. It makes our communities stronger, kinder and wiser.”

To do that, Five Good Friends has harnessed and humanised technology so that care feels like it’s coming from a friend, leaving members feeling valued, known and connected. Every single visit helps keep those they serve connected: to their family, friends and community.

“It enriches their lives, their family’s lives, all of our lives,” Simon says. “It makes our communities stronger, kinder and wiser.”

Care and connection, backed by technology

Five Good Friends’ purpose-built platform lets families view care schedules, communicate with helpers and track visit notes in real time — giving the sandwich generation the visibility and peace of mind they need, wherever they are.

Australia’s aged care system is also undergoing its biggest reform in decades. The new Support at Home program replaced Home Care Packages with a more flexible, needs-based model.

Five Good Friends helps members and families understand exactly what they’re entitled to and how to make the most of their funding.

Services on the Coast include aged care and disability support, personal care, in-home respite, rehabilitation support, meal preparation, domestic assistance and companionship. Every plan is built around the individual, because no two people’s needs are the same.

Want to learn more?

Whether you’re exploring care options for a loved one, wanting to understand the new Support at Home program, or considering a career as a helper, know that you’re among friends.

Call 1300 787 581 or visit fivegoodfriends.com.au.

WORD STEP

Complete the list by changing one letter at a time to create a new word at each step. There may be more than one answer.

BLOAT

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)

Ambitious Saturn, creative Neptune and dynamic Mars (your patron planet) are visiting your sign, so your fiery, passionate, proactive, boisterous, bossy Aries side will be on full display. Do your best to get must-do, routine tasks out of the way early in the week.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

Have you been hibernating in your Lion’s den? With Mercury and the sun (your ruler) activating your career zone, do your best to initiate positive, creative changes at work. It’s time to be bold rather than brooding, and proactive rather than reactive.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

Impatient, speedy Sagittarians can be too quick to ditch family members, dismiss close friends and disregard work colleagues who stuff up or disappoint. But is that always the best thing to do? Perhaps some people deserve a second chance?

QUIZ

1. In which Pacific Island nation was bungee jumping invented?

2. Africa’s highest mountain is located in which country?

3. Which character did Willem Dafoe (pictured) play in the 2002 movie Spider-Man?

4. Mary Shelley was the daughter of which famous feminist author?

5. Rock band Van Halen famously banned what colour M&Ms in their backstage area?

6. What object is at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy?

7. Who led the USSR from 1917–1922?

CHEFS

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

It’s time for Bulls to bewitch and bewilder. With the sun and Mercury both transiting through your sign, your positive and negative traits are boosted this week. So, expect to be more sensual and dependable… and more possessive and stubborn.

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

Generous Jupiter activates your hopes-and-wishes zone, which boosts confidence as you pursue ambitious and adventurous aspirations for the future. Avoid being too safe and sensible. Let go of a perceived failure that has been holding you back.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

This week, you’ll be at your Capricorn best as the sun and Mercury light up your leisure and pleasure zones. With Mars, Saturn and Neptune moving through your home zone, you may also have to lend a helping hand to a stressed relative or housemate.

9. In human anatomy, what is the hallux?

10. Name the sheep that was the first mammal to be cloned.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

Venus (the planet that rules appearance and aesthetics) is visiting Gemini, and Jupiter is jumping through your self-esteem zone. So, the stars urge you to look for the inner beauty within yourself – and other people.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

Prosperity planet Jupiter is jumping through your career zone until June 30, which only happens every 12 years. So don’t dilly-dally, Libra. A lucky opportunity could come out of the blue. You need to make hay while the sun shines and strike while the iron is hot.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

The sun and Mercury activate your family zone, so home is where the heart is this week. Even though you may be faced with an unpredictable domestic problem, be thankful for the relatives who nurture and support you.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

Jolly, generous Jupiter (the planet of prosperity and positivity) is transiting through your sign until June 30. This placement only happens every 12 years, so make the most of it while it’s still around. You’ll find confidence and robust self-esteem will take you places.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

This week the sun and Mercury are moving through your relationship zone, so the focus is on partnerships. Smart Scorpios will go out of their way to avoid controlling behaviour and power struggles, as they argue less and empathise more.

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

This week, the planets increase your tendency to blurt things out and spread secrets. So, think before you speak, Pisces. When it comes to a recalcitrant relative or an annoying neighbour, be more diplomatic as you build bridges and let bygones be bygones.

8. Approximately what is the highest possible Pac-Man score?

Did everyone score waves last weekend?

Not me. I was hiking in Girraween National Park.

This is where God lost his marbles or played with them – boulders that are five storeys high and you feel like an ant walking between them.

It’s definitely worth a visit and, also on the plus side, there is a truckload of wineries surrounding this area in Stanthorpe.

Of course, if you own a V8 vehicle, you might consider something a little closer.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

And remember: “The best person in the water is the one having the most fun.”
