AUSSIE GREYHOUNDS OFF TO AMERICA

IN a historic partnership, retired Australian greyhounds will be sent to the United States to serve as companion animals for law enforcement officers. 
 
The Pacific Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Greyhounds Australasia, Greyhound Racing NSW, and the US Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). 
 
The FOP, with over 367,000 members across 3,000 lodges nationwide, aims to provide greyhounds as PTSD dogs and pets for its officers. 
 
The initiative is inspired by successful programs in Australia with the Australian Federal Police Association and Police Association of NSW. 
 
The partnership is seen as a merging of human and animal welfare, providing comfort to officers exposed to traumatic incidents. The initiative has attracted widespread support in the Australian greyhound industry.

GET YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKED

CARDIOVASCULAR disease (CVD) is a major health issue in Australia, leading to the hospitalization of over 600,000 people annually. 
 
World Hypertension Day, which was on May 17, aimed to increase awareness of the significance of knowing and maintaining a healthy blood pressure level. 
 
About 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 worldwide suffer from high blood pressure, with 46% of adults unaware of their condition and only one in five having their blood pressure under control. 
 
Blooms The Chemist, a leading community pharmacy network, supports their local communities by promoting blood pressure monitoring and encouraging individuals to visit their pharmacy for a blood pressure test. 
 
This initiative aims to combat low awareness rates, particularly in low to middle-income areas. 
 
Blooms The Chemist provides free blood pressure evaluation tests as a core health service across their pharmacy network, aiming to prevent future health issues through early detection and intervention

NEW SETTLEMENT OFFICE IN FAIRFEILD

SETTLEMENT Services International (SSI), a major refugee resettlement provider in Australia, is investing in the Fairfield area by launching a new local location.

SSI supports around 20,000 refugees annually, with a considerable number residing in western Sydney.

The new office space in Fairfield reflects SSI's commitment to the community and its history of welcoming newcomers.

SSI CEO Violet Roumeliotis praised Australia's approach to settlement, which allows refugees to live close to family, friends, and their diaspora community upon arrival.

The investment in Fairfield aligns with the incoming NSW Labor Government's funding commitments for infrastructure upgrades and support services.

The new office will house over 45 SSI staff, who will provide essential human services to various groups, including single parents, people with disabilities, refugees, and asylum seekers.

SSI aims to strengthen partnerships and ensure that all members of the Fairfield community have opportunities to thrive.
