AGENDA the Australian Bureau of Statistics. (ABS) Sales workers had the narrowest hourly gender pay gap, at seven per cent. The detailed earnings information from the ABS revealed some progress on the gender pay gap over the past two years, narrowing to 8.9 per cent in May 2023 from 9.7 per cent in May 2021. Still, men were earning more per hour than women in all eight major types of occupations. ABS head of labour statistics Bjorn Jarvis says the task of measuring the gender pay gap is complicated and there

“The majority of full-time employees are men with higher average earnings than full-time women”

GENDER PAY GAP WIDER FOR MANAGERS THAN OTHER JOB TYPES But research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals some progress has been made over the past two years.

he hourly gender pay gap is wider for Australian managers than for professionals, labourers and other classes of

workers. Men in management roles were earning almost 20 per cent more than their female counterparts, based on average earnings each hour, charted by

is no single measure able to capture the full story. Yet, he says hourly earnings comparisons are more useful than weekly earnings measures, as women are more likely than men to work part-time. He says the prevalence of women in part-time roles partly explains the wider pay gap when considered on a weekly basis. “The majority of full-time employees are men with higher average earnings ($2074 a week) than full-time women ($1815 a week),” Mr Jarvis says. Australian workers are also most likely to have their pay set via individual agreements – almost 40 per cent – followed by about 34 per cent covered by a collective agreement.

IT’S A NUMBERS GAME AS POPULATION HITS 27M Australia’s population has surged to more than 27 million as births and migrants arriving outstrip deaths and residents leaving the nation. The Australian Bureau of Statistics population clock tipped over the mark in mid-January and continues to increase by one person every 50 seconds. The nation’s population grew by 624,100 people or 2.4 per cent last year, with net overseas migration of 518,100 people and natural growth of 106,100 new citizens. It’s projected to reach between 29.2 million and 30.8 million people by 2032, and between 34.3 million and 45.9 million people by 2071. That’s based on the population increasing by an annual average of between 1.2 per cent and 1.7 per cent until June 2032. The estimate of 27 million citizens is based on the nation’s population on June 30 last year, which was 26,638,544 people, and projected growth that includes a birth every one minute and 42 seconds. It also assumes that a person dies every two minutes and 52 seconds, and that a migrant arrives to live in Australia every 45 seconds. – AAP.

FAST FACTS

From Egypt with love

Do you remember?

Did you know? Our sharpest memories are from early adulthood. Called “the reminiscence bump”, this psychological concept holds that as adults reflect on events of their lives, they remember more from their 20s than from any other time in their lives. Psychologist Dan McAdams says this grows out of the fact that this period is important in shaping identity or ‘life story’.

Mark Antony once brought sand from Egypt to Turkey to cover an entire beach for his beloved Cleopatra. Cleopatra was an incredibly powerful ruler who could indulge in the kind of luxuries others could never even imagine. For example, when she was vacation on Sedir Island in Turkey, she wasn’t satisfied with the beaches. So her lover had the white sand that she preferred brought all the way from Egypt so that she could enjoy it on foreign shores. Sedir is now known as Cleopatra’s Island for this reason.

FEATURE STORY

MAKING YOUR ‘HAPPY PLACE’ A PRIORITY Pivotal moments in our lives often lead to a change in direction in careers and life. WORDS: Lucinda Dean.

ast year was one of those milestone birthdays which, for me, precipitated a mini existential career/life crisis. I turned 50 and overnight became the invisible woman in my industry (marketing). I’d recently been made redundant and found when I got back on the job-seeker merry-go-round, I was pushed aside in favour of young grads with digital marketing degrees. Sure, I could’ve gone back to uni and upskilled, but I’m just not interested in learning about algorithms and the like. While I back myself as a copywriter and a creative, employers these days are looking for more than a one (or perhaps two) trick pony. I was in serious need of a career makeover. Fortunately for me, inspiration struck in the most ordinary of places. While shopping at Woolies, I noticed Blue Care women taking their elderly clients grocery shopping and having coffee. I thought, ‘I could do that’. Helping people in need seemed to me to be a

rewarding career, which also offered the perks of flexible part-time work. And being a journalist for the past 20-plus years, I certainly thought my listening and communication skills would be an asset in aged care. So, I researched what qualifications I needed and embarked on a Certificate III in Aged Care and Disability. I’m now a part-time community support worker and I love my new vocation.

“I made a promise to myself that day to follow my bliss and start art classes once the lockdown was over” Another pivotal moment in becoming a mid-life career-changer was the first Queensland COVID-19 lockdown (2020). Perhaps like many housebound parents, I was bored and frustrated with

homeschooling. One seminal day, my Primary school-aged son convinced me to so some drawings he didn’t want to do. So, I picked up a graphite pencil and began sketching. Quickly, I lost track of time. I was no longer stressed out about home schooling. I was in the zone. I made a promise to myself that day to follow my bliss and start art classes once the lockdown was over. I now attend a weekly art studio class. It’s my happy place. Working part-time is now a need rather than a want. So, I can continue to ‘art’ and enjoy downtime with my family. In researching this story, I realised I was a stereotype. While people are making career changes at any age for all sorts of reasons, it’s when we hit 40 (and older) that we enter a new psychosocial development stage, which gives rise to a sense of ‘carpe diem’ or urgency. Reaching mid-life makes us think about what legacy we want to leave behind. Our kids grow up, our parents grow old and our priorities shift.

Top tips for career-changers 1. Do what you love, not what you know. 2. Seek an expert opinion, such as a career consultant, because they can hold the mirror up to you and help you see what you cannot. 3. Make sure your resume is tailored towards the job you’re going for and not just everything that you’ve ever done. Make sure it’s strategically written. 4. Be on a hunt for a boss and a company, not simply a job hunt. 5. Interview your potential employer as much as they interview you.

FEATURE STORY

Kate Langford I related my career change story to Kate Langford, CEO and founder of Kate Langford Careers Consulting. Ms Langford agrees that when you hit 50, you reach a point where you ask yourself: ‘Is this what I really want to do for the rest of my career?’. “People want to do something they love, not just what they’re good at,” she says. “It’s not like it used to be when you’d go to work and do a job you didn’t love but just did it to get paid. “There’s a real shift of mindset around mental health and work/life balance, which is why career changes are happening, and earlier than 40, too.” Ms Langford says the reason women, in particular, are changing careers earlier than 40 is cost-of-living pressures and mortgage interest rate hikes, which is forcing mums to go back to work sooner. And sometimes returning to work can mean this cohort has to pivot and reinvent themselves career-wise. With the average retirement age in Australia now 65, at 40 you still have 25 years left in the workforce. Ms Langford’s advice is to do what you love rather than what you know or what you’re good at, because if you stick

to what you’re good at, nothing will ever change. Unicorn jobs may be rare, but they are out there if you pursue them with passion. Ms Langford says she helped a 50-ish former male teacher achieve his dream job as a question writer on The Chase, a popular TV quiz show. This gentleman had a passion for game shows and had been a game show participant himself and loved it. The Great Resignation was coined in early 2021 when workers in the US voluntarily resigned from their jobs in droves in the wake of the pandemic. The most cited reasons for resigning were wage stagnation, the rising cost of living, limited opportunity for career advancement, hostile work environments, lack of benefits, inflexible remote-work policies and long-lasting job dissatisfaction. Ms Langford says The Great Resignation is huge in Australia. “With high inflation and low unemployment, people aren’t really changing jobs because of the economy,” she says. “They’re changing jobs because of their mental health and because of toxic bosses and workplace cultures and not being heard and seen and not enjoying their work anymore. “People are also realising they can work from home more. “Lack of employer flexibility is also causing people to leave their jobs.” About 30 per cent of Ms Langford’s clientele are teachers she has helped completely change industries or start their own business. She believes the Sunshine Coast is becoming the entrepreneur capital of Australia because locals, mainly aged 45-55, are starting their own businesses so they don’t have to leave the area. “People starting their own businesses are wanting to get out of the rat race and have flexibility and escape toxic work cultures,” Ms Langford says.

capability, then it’s a lot easier to transition to something new. Ms Faulkner recommends doing an audit of what transferable skills you already have, as well as what your skills gaps are, which could necessitate obtaining new qualifications. “The most successful are those who seek training with training providers which have direct connections to employers,” she says. Ms Faulkner concedes ageism is a potential barrier for career-changers. However, she says she tells candidates that it’s all about the attitude you bring.

Michalle Faulkner East Coast Human Resources Group managing director Michalle Faulkner says the current climate was the most unusual labour market she’s seen in 25 years, but therein lies opportunity. Covid has changed our perception of what is acceptable, such as working from home online or hybrid (home and office) work arrangements. She says professionals are more reluctant to change jobs post-COVID than before, so the pool of candidates who are passively looking is shallower than in the past. Ms Faulkner says allied health professionals (such as occupational therapists and physiotherapists) are in huge demand on the Coast, as well as professional service providers such as accountants and solicitors. While embarking on a four-year university degree might seem daunting, Ms Faulkner asserts that some employers are prepared to invest in employment training and support growth if that means they’re getting a stable employee who’s reliable, with a demonstrated work history and lived experience that aligns with the business. Obviously, though, if a career-changer has transferable skills and

“If a job candidate goes into an interview with a negative attitude, then they’ve already failed” “It’s not necessarily about hiding age, it’s about demonstrating and articulating the skills and capabilities that you’re bringing to the role and that maturity and responsibility you have developed to be able to add value,” Ms Faulkner says. “If a job candidate goes into an interview with a negative attitude, then they’ve already failed because they will exude negativity and lack of confidence to the interviewer.” Ms Faulkner believes the most successful work group is the one which celebrates diversity and inclusion. “We need energetic, youthful millennials who are typically our innovators and we need our mature, responsible, dedicated professionals who bring a lot of lived experience,” Ms Faulkner says. “There are employers out there that value diversity and inclusion and embrace it, so I would encourage people to seek out those employers.”

TURNING OFF THE POWER OF CYBERBULLIES The rise of artificial intelligence is compounding the problems associated with children being bullied online.

rtificial intelligence (AI) technology is being used to produce realistic, degrading and offensive content of children as more families report online bullying.

myweeklypreview.com.au

13.indd 1

Parents are being asked to talk to their kids about online safety and treating others with respect as school returns. This comes amid a 40 per cent rise in cyberbullying reports to Australia’s

online safety regulator. Two-thirds of the 2383 reports the eSafety Commissioner received last year involved children aged 12 to 15. Girls also made up two-thirds of reported cyberbullying victims, while one-in-three reports involved either offensive or upsetting imagery or fake accounts and impersonations. Rapid take-up of sophisticated AI technologies is changing the nature of online abuse, acting eSafety Commissioner Kathryn King says. She wants families not to make online safety a “set-and-forget” issue and urges responsible adults to actively guide and support children’s online experiences. “The nature and impact of cyberbullying harm is changing for the worse with the rise of generative AI technologies,” Ms King says. “These incredibly powerful tools burst onto the mainstream stage last year and are now being used to produce very realistic, degrading and offensive synthetic content featuring real people, including children.” Cyberbullying reports typically rise during school terms, due to it being a continuation of the bullying occurring on school grounds, Ms King says. Parents and carers can keep abreast

of possible bullying by regularly asking their children questions about what they are doing online and who they are chatting to – similar to questions about school activities and friendships. Signs a child is experiencing cyberbullying include appearing sad, lonely, angry, worried or upset more than usual and unexpected changes in friendship groups. They may also have changes in sleep or eating patterns and become secretive about their mobile phone use. “... it’s helpful to sit down with your children to reassure them they can always come to you if they see anything online that makes them feel uncomfortable – but to also remind them to treat others with respect,” Ms King says. The online safety watchdog can provide support in cyberbullying cases, as well as adult cyber and image-based abuse. The agency has the power to order the removal of seriously harmful, illegal or restricted content. Commissioner Julie Inman Grant is currently overseas, meeting with European leaders to improve the online rights of children and improve their digital safety. – AAP.

Peter Wise. Inset: Peter Wise and his family worked on the land for generations

PATRIACH WAS ‘A STRONG COMMUNITY ADVOCATE’ A passionate Sunshine Coast farmer – an integral part of a family working the land for more than 120 years – has died at the age of 82.

espected Buderim farmer and landowner Peter Wise has passed away. He was 82. Mr Wise was the owner of a 35-hectare property that is the last open space in the Maroochydore/Buderim

area. The Wise family owned and managed the farm for generations, while urban development sprawled around it. Mr Wise – the name behind Wises Road – put the property on the market in 2022, attracting a significant amount of

interest. His family issued a statement paying tribute to Mr Wise. “It is with deep regret that the Wise family advise of the passing of Peter Wise of Buderim, aged 82,” it read. “Peter passed away on January 22 after a short stay in hospital. “Peter was a well-known local farmer and property owner. “Peter’s grandfather Frederick purchased a farm in Buderim in 1901 – the year that Peter’s father Frank was born – and called the property Palmyra. “Peter started farming the property with his father full-time in 1958. “In the 1960s, Peter purchased approximately 300 acres of land adjoining

Palmyra. The current balance of the total farm holdings is 39ha and referred to as Wises Farm on Wises Road, Buderim/Maroochydore. “In all, this land has been farmed by four generations of the Wise family for over 120 years. “Figs and coffee are currently produced, with locals enjoying purchasing figs direct from the farm. “Thirty-five hectares of the farm is currently for sale. “When announcing the sale of the farm is 2022, Peter stated: ‘My decision to sell from a personal perspective is influenced by age and one’s lifetime expectation, a reality connected to the relentless forward movement of time’. “He was a very proud Australian with a passion for farming and paying homage to his heritage. “He was also a strong community advocate, always seeking sound, logical planning outcomes for the Sunshine Coast. “Peter is survived by his wife Ivy, children and grandchildren and will be dearly missed.” Want more news daily?

SOCIAL IMPACT DRIVING CONSUMERS’ DECISIONS According to the latest Conscious Consumer Spending Index, Australian consumers are more likely to buy from businesses that support charity. Over three-quarters of Australian consumers believe corporates should partner with charities to solve social problems, and over half of all consumers say they’d switch to brands who support a charity. A 2022 Forbes magazine article on consumer behaviour reports that shoppers are “four to six times more likely to purchase from purpose-driven companies” – even if it means paying more. The same article also states that 80 per cent of consumers will work to promote a business’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, essentially advertising your business for you. Never before has it been so important for a business to consider its

impact on the communities it serves. How companies protect the environment, treat their employees and give back to their community is considered – and acted upon – by an increasingly discerning consumer. We all know COVID changed workforce values and expectations significantly. It’s fair to say that there’s never been more flexibility and accountability demanded by employees across all sectors, and it’s evident in numerous studies that employees are prioritising their mental health and life balance above all else. A report from Atlassian and PwC Australia found the majority of workers want their employers to actively invest in social change that will benefit their community and the world in general. Currently, Gen Y is the largest cohort in the workforce and 41 per cent surveyed say they would leave an organisation whose values did not align with theirs, while 66 per cent of Aussies agree that companies actively engaged in CSR are more attractive as employers. As we navigate a rapidly changing world, we think it’s a win-win that the true measure of success lies not just in financial statements but in the positive impact businesses leave on the hearts and minds of their consumers, employees and communities they serve.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AT HEART OF SPEED LIMIT REDUCTION A section of busy beach road is about to have its speed limit reduced as part of an intersection makeover. Upgrades worth $1 million will be made at the corner of David Low Way and Scrub Road at Coolum Beach, to ensure safer pedestrian access. The works will include a new pedestrian refuge and a dedicated right-turn lane into Scrub Road. The speed limit will change from 60kmh to 50kmh for about 525m along David Low Way, from Scrub Road to south of the Mona Vista Court intersection, extending the 50kmh zone that is current along the beachfront of the Coolum town centre. Works will include minor shoulder widening, realigning footpaths and kerb ramps, updating line

marking and signage, new street lighting and speed signage. State MP for Ninderry Dan Purdie says the revamp is much needed. “The community have been calling for better pedestrian access in this area for some time, so it’s great to see these important safety upgrades finally get underway,” he says. The new lighting will be installed at a lower height to minimise potential impact on nesting turtles and other beachside fauna.

Girl’s hampers bring festive cheer The daughter of a cancer care nurse at Sunshine Coast University Hospital has brought some Christmas cheer to people undergoing treatment. Alana Phillips says her 11-year-old daughter Harley asked her what patients at the hospital would do for Christmas. “I explained they continue with treatment. She was horrified they would still have treatment at Christmas. When asked whether the hospital buys them presents, I sheepishly said ‘no’,” Ms Phillips says. Harley then put together a plan and, on December 22 last year, she delivered 21 hampers to the cancer care inpatient

unit. “With some kind donations from the community, she collected items up and put together hampers to bring comfort, warmth, love and some cheeky snacks to warm not only the soul but belly, too,” Ms Phillips says.

MY OPINION

PERSONALITIES ON PARADE

NAMED AND SHAMED

Jane Stephens realises that vehicles are a reflection of who their owners are or want to be – an entertaining insight into how they like to roll.

Sami Muirhead now has something in common with Donald Trump but she won’t be snacking on that newfound infamy any time soon.

ave you ever considered cars as personalities, and the rich social texture that is reflected in the vehicle mix? Queensland has just on four million registered drivers and more than six million cars, all with their own face and vibe. And here on the Sunshine Coast, we sure do love to take our vehicles out and about. Anyone seeking a car park in Mooloolaba on a weekend or whose weekday rhythm includes the peak-hour rat-run can attest to that. Cars represent freedom, independence and personal identity. Some people see their cars as an extension of themselves, and so many take pride in maintaining and customising their vehicles. Far from just being a mass of metal, cars can even hold sentimental value, such as being a gift from someone beloved or having a link to a memorable experience. We used to adorn them with bumper stickers and decals, telling other road users where we had been or what our family looked like in stick figure form. And while that has fallen out of fashion, psychologists say that for many, the emotional connection to cars goes beyond their

practical function and can be deeply rooted in personal and cultural significance. Some beefy blokes would not be seen dead in a two-door hatch. The cool and environmentally conscious would not choose a gas guzzler in a million years. The old Ford/Holden division has many more camps now, with makes from far and distant places and drivers eschewing family brand loyalty when deciding to purchase. On the Coast, there has been evidence of some distinct driver profiles this summer. The ubiquitous four-wheel-drives strut as much as roll through our streets, with accessories and adornments as important as the cars themselves. Shadows of knights with jousting sticks are conjured by the awnings, the lifts, the trappings of the adventurous and outdoorsy. There are the out-of-towners branded by their number plates and indecision at tricky intersections. There are the hothead P-plate drivers, as confident as their feet are heavy, raring to go and wanting to get there yesterday. There are status seekers in their sleek and featureless EVs, souped-up sports cars in flashy red and utes – once only the ambit of tradies. The drive to be individual and stand out is real.

Dr Jane Stephens is a UniSC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

am hanging my head in shame this week after being labelled a work cheater. What a smear! Next, I will be forced to walk down the main street of Maroochydore with an A-frame sign slung over me, stating I am a scarlet woman. You see, I have been accused of tampering with votes when it comes to naming our work confectionery vending machine. Stay with me here! Is there anything more joyful than trudging to the vending machine to take your choice of goodies to pick you up in the afternoon? I love a KitKat on a Monday. Twisties on a Tuesday. Wednesday, I go to gym, so I take it easy and get a Summer Roll. Thursday and Friday, I splurge and get honey soy chicken chips. Our old vending machine was called ‘Snacky Chan’ (Jackie Chan). Over Christmas, Snacky Chan spat out too many drinks and broke down. Sounds like me after a big Saturday night these days. The new fancy machine is our pride and joy at work and needed a name. It even has salami and cheese and Jatz Crackers inside as options to purchase. My now nemesis Lachie sent out an all-staff email asking my

work colleagues to vote on the name. The list included Snack Efron (Zac Efron), Captain Snack Sparrow (Jack Sparrow), Leonardo DiSnackrio (DiCaprio) and Hugh Snackman (Jackman). I was desperate for Snacka-Dacca to win. I voted eight times. Simple as that. I did think at the time how strange that the computer let me keep voting. But I was drunk on the power of it all. I was feeling glorious when Lachie announced the name was indeed Snacka-Dacca. I was celebrating when another email popped up, telling all our staff that it had come to his attention that I had voted repeatedly. My votes were taken away from the tally and the name was taken out of the final choice. Oh, the shame! Oh, the pain! Lance Armstrong, Tonya Harding, Tiger Woods and Donald Trump all flashed through my mind. They have all been accused of cheating in their sporting fields, professional or private lives. And now my name is in the mix. For the record, our vending machine is called Hugh Snackman. It is not nearly as rock’n’roll as Snacka-Dacca but I dare not say that at work.

BREASTSCREEN RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS NEEDED

reastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast is recruiting 10,000 women to take part in the world’s first research study

assessing the impacts of breast density notification on women participating in the free breast screening program. Dr Lisa Hammerton, the regional

service lead investigator, is calling on all women 40 years or over, who are due for a mammogram, to take part in the research being conducted across all BreastScreen Sunshine Coast sites, including the mobile service. “There is increasing pressure around the world for women to be notified of their breast density, and our clients want the best evidence-based research on this topic. What better way to provide that evidence than hosting this study,” Dr Hammerton says. “We are very fortunate to be working alongside Dr Brooke Nickel, principal investigator from the University of Sydney. “Dr Nickel and her team are passionate about determining the pros and cons of breast density notification, and how best to convey that information to Australian women.” To take part in the study, women need to book their regular breast screen in the usual way by calling 13 20 50 or visiting breastscreen.qld.gov.au. They will then receive more information about the study and a consent form. Participation in the study is voluntary and appointments will still take less than 30 minutes. “It’s exciting to know the results from

Fast facts • 75 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer are aged over 50. Younger women can get breast cancer, but the risk of the disease increases dramatically after the age of 50. • Nine-out-of-10 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. While women with a family history of breast cancer are more at risk, most women diagnosed have no such hereditary factors. • A breast screen every two years is the best way to detect breast cancer early – well before you or your doctor can feel anything.

this research will help inform future policy for breast screening programs in Australia and around the world,” Dr Hammerton says. “Hosting this research trial is another way that we can continue to improve the quality of screening for our clients on the Sunshine Coast.” The study officially launched on October 4 last year and is expected to run for about six months. For more information, contact breastdensity.study@sydney.edu.au.

Early Melanoma Detection with 3D Total Body Photography The tool in the ﬁght against skin cancer is here now Finding new or changing moles is key to catching melanoma skin cancer early. It is believed that about 30% of melanomas are found only because they are new or changing – not because they look like melanomas. 3D Total Body Photography (TBP) is an unparalleled high-resolution imaging tool using 92 cameras and specialised cross-polarised ﬂash photography. All the cameras go off at once, taking just seconds to do. The 3D avatar is then created in just seven minutes. The avatar can be moved and rotated on high-resolution screens. Moles can be monitored from every angle and displayed alongside separate high images for accurate assessment. Computer analysis of repeat images helps to highlight and quantify change. This tool supports the clinical skin check and mole assessment. Not only does 3D TBP help us to spot melanoma early, it can also help reduce avoidable biopsies. Unchanging moles can be safely left.

Who should have 3D Total Body Photography (TBP)? According to the Melanoma Institute of Australia, TBP might be appropriate if you have any of the following: • many moles on your skin (>100 – count them!) • many moles that are large, unusual colours or shapes • moles on your back that are difficult to see change • a previous history of melanoma • a strong family history of melanoma • fair skin that has been severely or repeatedly sunburned. How to book 3D TBP Call the friendly team at SunLife on 07 5450 9808 for information and bookings. No referral needed. Or book a skin check only appointment online at www.sunlifeskincancer.com.au/bookings. At your skin check, your skin cancer doctor will do a risk assessment, give prevention advice, and perform thorough check. They can answer questions about 3D TBP and help you decide if it is right for you.

YOUR HEALTH

START THE YEAR WITH A FOCUS ON EYE HEALTH

EAT, DRINK AND STAY HYDRATED THIS SUMMER

Why not commence 2024 with a comprehensive eye health check, setting the tone for a year of optimal vision and overall wellbeing. Our eyes – vital conduits to the world around us – deserve attention and care to ensure they function at their best. An eye health check at the beginning of the year serves as a proactive measure, identifying potential issues early on and preventing the escalation of any underlying conditions. Regular eye check-ups are instrumental in detecting common eye ailments such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. Beyond refractive errors, these examinations also screen for more serious conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration. Early detection allows for timely intervention, often preventing irreversible damage and preserving vision. An eye examination can reveal health issues you may not be aware of. For example, did you know high blood pressure can be detected by looking a the back of your eye? The eye is often the first place more sinister diseases rear their ugly heads, such as Myosthenia Gravis. The start of a new year is an opportune moment to recalibrate a

Living in Queensland, we tend to forget one important part of our health over summer: hydration. The hidden side effects of our favourite temptations at this time of year – food, alcohol, partying, daytime napping (which are wholeheartedly encouraged in moderation) – are that they tend to take fluid from the body. Here are a few hot tips to stay cool and hydrated. 1. Drink water. This is the most obvious solution for maintaining hydration, but how much should we drink? A general guideline is eight cups for women and 10 for men each day. However, this is affected by exertion, time in the sun, alcohol and food, for example. The more of these you do, generally the more water you should consume. If the idea of pure water is not for you, try additives for flavour. 2. Water alternatives. Sodas, iced tea, coffee and other drinks that contain caffeine are second best to good oldfashioned water when you’re trying to stay hydrated. They act as diuretics. So, even if you’re getting water, you’re also pulling a little extra fluid from your body because of the caffeine. 3. Eat fruit. An alternative method to stay hydrated is eating. We are blessed to have amazing fruit that are full of water

commitment to overall health. By including eye health in this resolution, individuals demonstrate a proactive approach to self-care, recognising the significance of clear vision in their daily lives. It’s a small, yet impactful investment that pays dividends throughout the year, contributing to a clearer, brighter, and healthier future. Your optometrist can offer a comprehensive eye check. If there are any concerns, such as cataracts or a suspicion of glaucoma, they can refer you to Dr Michael Karpa at Best Practice Eyecare. Call 5492 2822 or email enquiries@ bestpracticeeyecare.com.au.

available during the summer season. Cucumbers, watermelon, salads, strawberries and pawpaw, for example, can assist with hydration levels. Research also shows that eating foods that are full of water helps keep you satisfied on fewer calories – an added bonus. 4. Meat and other foods. Surprisingly, meat can contain up to 60 per cent water. However, you do have to be mindful of salt intake as a side effect of large meat-based meals. Food can make up to 20 per cent of your daily fluid intake. So, stay wellnourished to reduce the chances of dehydration. 5. Monitor fluid loss. It is important to monitor and maintain fluid levels. If you notice darker urine, excessive thirst or potentially even light-headedness, chances are you are starting to become dehydrated. Tristan Hall is an exercise physiologist at Full Circle Wellness.

YOUR HEALTH

FROM CHRONIC PAIN TO LONG FLIGHT WITH EASE Imagine living in constant pain and potentially having to miss your mother’s 70th birthday on the other side of the world. This was the reality Charlie was facing before ANF Therapy. About six months ago, Charlie slipped a disc in her back and endured three weeks of pain that she can only describe as being “off the charts”. The pain later decreased slightly. But Charlie still faced moderate pain every

day. She had restricted movement and felt trapped in her body. She couldn’t walk the dog. She couldn’t take anything out of a low cupboard. She couldn’t even unplug something from the wall and had to ask her kids to help. Worse than this was the thought that Charlie would have to miss her mum’s 70th birthday party in England because she simply couldn’t endure the 26-hour flight. At this point, she couldn’t even handle a 30-minute car ride without her body seizing up. Charlie had tried everything – osteotherapy, chiropractic, myotherapy and even deep-needling acupuncture. Some therapies were painful. But she would work through the pain because she hung onto the hope that the end result would be worth it. She might be lucky to get two to three days of relief, but the pain would always come back. One day, Charlie was scrolling through a Facebook group and read a woman’s story that sounded identical to hers. This person had experienced relief with ANF Therapy and, because the story resonated with her so much, Charlie called Cluzie Clinic. She asked for the next available appointment as her England trip was creeping up and she was beginning to panic. Luckily, the clinic was able to

squeeze her in and, during her first appointment, she felt shocked. “I was asked to touch my toes yet could barely reach my knees,” Charlie says. “I then lay back on the table and had some discs applied, unbeknown to me, as I was expecting to be hooked up to a machine. So I was so shocked when, a few minutes later, I was asked to touch my toes again and I could reach my ankles as I didn’t even realise the therapy had already been applied.” She walked out of her first appointment with her pain halved and her range of movement significantly increased. Charlie was also surprised at how simple and pain-free an ANF appointment was for her. It was after the second appointment that even her family noticed the difference. Charlie began to feel like a normal person again and the children noticed that she was no longer complaining about her back pain. Her personality and her energy returned. She was no longer focused on simply getting through the day and her world opened up again. She was able to start doing all the things that she loved before. The third appointment was like the cherry on top. She was feeling healthy and happy. The best part is that she was able to

enjoy a pain-free trip to England. She experienced no pain during the 26-hour flight, and even dragging around luggage and driving for five hours was pain-free. Charlie was able to be fully present – physically and mentally – at her mum’s party. She believes she is even better than before. Now, when Charlie notices a niggle in her back she no longer panics, because the next day she is back to normal again. ANF has taught her body how to heal itself. She is no longer living on high alert and has confidence and respect for her body. Visit cluzie.com.

MELANOMA IMAGING BENEFITTING PATIENTS

EnergyChiro is a new healing system that reportedly provides astounding relief of back pain and headaches, especially in difficult cases that won’t respond to conventional treatments. The system aims to correct underlying causes, rather than just working on resultant symptoms. In many troublesome cases, a key underlying cause is non-physical energy field interference. With such cases, EnergyChiro instantly normalises physically distorted spines, allowing pain levels to begin subsiding. This results in immediately improved pain levels, strengthened muscles and more mobile joints. In such cases, most clients also experience a sense of ‘lightness’ and a permanent mental improvement in terms of feeling more positive emotions and less negative emotions. Once the energy field is cleared, any secondary residual physical distortions that remain are corrected with an advanced form of ‘no-crack’, neurological spinal alignment based on the Neuroimpulse Protocol (neuroimpulse.com). EnergyChiro is founded by Dr John Moore BEd.BHSc.MChiro (Master of

Patients at SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre have been benefiting from the new 3D Total Body Photography system for more than six months. The state-of-the-art imaging technology provides the highestresolution images, allowing unparalleled monitoring to find new and changing moles – an amazing tool in the fight to find melanoma early. Dr Simon Hardy is an accredited skin cancer doctor with the Skin Cancer College of Australasia and mentor on the advanced dermoscopy (skin scope) course. “The image quality and software utility we are seeing with the Vectra 3D imaging system is incredible,” he says. “Our first group of high-risk patients have now had repeat monitoring, with melanomas diagnosed by the changes seen.” Repeat imaging is the most important factor of 3D TBP. It is where change can be identified: the all-important clue to early changes of melanoma. “Change is the best way of finding melanomas that don’t show typical features under a scope,” Dr Hardy says. “We want to be safe whilst minimising avoidable biopsies. To do this, we assess

Chiropractic). Dr Moore has developed his EnergyChiro’s gentle and safe healing system during 25 years of clinical practice. His results are evidenced by his EnergyChiro 5-star Google reviews. The practice accepts all private health funds and Department of Veterans’ Affairs clients. Additionally, all Australian citizens are entitled to receive up to five Medicaresubsidised treatments, which brings the cost down to $22 per treatment.

all changed lesions and group them as safe, close monitoring or biopsy.” How often people are monitored is a decision based on individual risk and personal preference. “Monitoring is commonly done at six or 12 months,” Dr Hardy says. “People with higher risk and more moles (especially when they are irregular or difficult to self-monitor) may benefit from the more frequent monitoring.” 3D TBP can be booked directly by calling SunLife. Alternatively, a detailed skin check can be booked online with dedicated skin cancer doctors, Dr Bronnie Hautala or Dr Hardy. Any questions about TBP can be answered at your skin check. Always remember to keep an eye on your skin, report new or changing lesions, head in for a skin check when you’re due, and keep safe from skin cancer. Visit sunlifeskincancercare.com.au.

YOUR HEALTH

MUSCLE DEGENERATION LINKED TO DIETS: STUDY If you’re aged over 65 and having trouble unscrewing a jar or climbing a staircase, you may want to check your diet for inflammatory foods. That’s the latest takeaway from almost three years of PhD research by Dietetics graduate Corey Linton, of the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC). His latest paper, co-authored by three UniSC academics and published in the journal Nutrients, found links between the symptoms of muscle degeneration and the level of inflammatory foods in the diets of older people living in their own homes. “Those adults who recorded lower numbers on the dietary inflammatory index had higher muscle mass and strength compared to those with higher numbers on the index,” Mr Linton says. “While there is ample research into other factors influencing muscle health, from exercise to genetics, this study examined associations with people’s diets, in particular with foods considered inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. “The findings reinforce Australian nutrition guidelines which recommend that we all eat five serves of vegetables and two serves of fruit daily and balance

our diets as much as possible.” Mr Linton says diet is an important consideration as the rate of chronic musculoskeletal diseases such as sarcopenia (loss of muscle strength and function) continued to increase among ageing Australians. “Muscle health can be overlooked as a chronic disease but these participants told us how important it is to their daily lives, to enable independence and living in the community,” he says. His findings are based on 200 adults, aged between 65 and 85, recording what they ate in one 24-hour period, noting foods with positive or negative inflammatory effects such as vegetables, fruit, meat products, herbs and spices, raw and processed products. “We then assessed their musculoskeletal health, grip strength, walking and gait, and scanned their bone density and body composition using the university’s gold-standard DXA machine,” he says. PhD supervisor and UniSC senior lecturer in nutrition and dietetics Dr Hattie Wright says food is a modifiable tool that could be used “a lot more” to assist healthy ageing. “With an ageing population, it is vital to understand what people can do to maintain their independence, health, and quality of life as they grow older,” she says.

Cataracts and Dry Eyes A cataract is any clouding of the lens of the eye. The lens is situated inside the eye, behind the pupil. It acts in the same way as the lens in a camera to help focus light rays on to the light sensitive nervous tissue in the back of the eye – the retina. Dry eye syndrome is a general term for the of the EYE tear film that protects the BESTbreakdown PRACTICE eye’s front surface. It is the most common symptomatic eye condition treated at Best Practice Eyecare. Dry eye syndrome causes chronic, tired, uncomfortable eyes. Dr Michael Karpa and the amazing team at Best Practice Eyecare can help you with cataracts, dry eyes, and much more including glaucoma, pterygia, lid surgery and macular degeneration.

Dispelling the myths about CPAP therapy

Surgery a last resort when it comes to joint pain

Are you a snorer and often struggling with fatigue? Sleep apnea affects millions as well as their partners and CPAP therapy is the gold standard for treatment. Still, common myths often deter people from doing something about it. Myth 1: CPAP machines are loud. Truth: Most modern CPAP devices are whisper quiet. Most of the time, you can’t even tell they are on. The newest masks are lightweight and if they are sized and fitted correctly this combination will transform the bedroom to a quiet tranquil space. Myth 2: CPAP therapy is only for severe cases. Truth: Whether your sleep apnea is mild, moderate or severe, CPAP therapy benefits all levels. It effectively opens your airway, reducing snoring, improving sleep quality and enhancing quality of life. Myth 3: CPAP therapy is only for old people. Truth: Sleep apnea can affect anyone, from children to the elderly. Typically, we see people starting on CPAP therapy from as early as their late teens. Don’t let misinformation hold you back. Chat with one of our clinicians free of charge about getting the mojo back in your life.

Pain in the joint can be caused by many different conditions, one of the most common is osteoarthritis. The pain caused by osteoarthritis can often cloud patient’s judgement when it comes to seeking advice and treatment. It can feel like there is no help available, or there is so much information but none of it makes any sense. This can often result in poor decision-making or incorrect treatment of your symptoms. A very effective way to treat osteoarthritis is with a correct diagnosis and the right education provided by a health professional. Talking to a specialist will enable you the best possible treatment options to help with managing your pain. Often it is recommended to seek treatment with an allied health professional such as a dietician or physiotherapist. Surgery should always be the last option to treat joint pain. With the right tools and education, surgery can be delayed or even avoided. I would recommend speaking to a specialist about your joint pain today. Remember, never be afraid to ask questions.

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

The sun/Uranus square and new moon shake up and reboot your peer group zone, so a friend or work colleague from the past could boomerang back into your world. Whatever happens, do your best to surround yourself with authentic people.

You’ll be in the public eye in some way as the sun, new moon, Mercury and Pluto stimulate your reputation/career zone. So you could shine at work, at school or in a volunteer position. When it comes to your job, do you need to upskill?

You’re super busy and raring to go but are you actually achieving anything of substance? On Monday your ruler Mercury hooks up with meticulous Pluto, so make sure you double-check details and leave plenty of time to get to appointments.

Crabs are sentimental creatures and can spend too much time in the past. Resist the urge to brood over love gone wrong. This week’s stars help heal your hurt feelings so you can finally let go and move on. The new moon also signals a major shift.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

On Thursday, a romantic relationship or a professional partnership could veer off in an unpredictable direction, when disruptive Uranus squares the sun (your ruling planet). When it comes to your career, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The sun, new moon, Mercury and Pluto all highlight your wellbeing zone, so strive to be the fittest and most vibrant Virgo you can be. Get your body moving ASAP. Reinvention is the name of the game, as the planets encourage you to reboot your daily routine.

This week six planets activate your family and friendship zones, so focus on the important people in your life who make your world go ‘round. Make sure you love, nurture and appreciate them to the max – but don’t expect them to make you happy.

Monday’s Mercury/Pluto conjunction is all about intense communication and powerful conversations, especially with family members and housemates. And then Friday night’s new moon encourages you to patch up an unpredictable relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21) Friday night’s new moon inspires you to contribute your talents to a worthy cause in your community. Satisfying connections and positive friendships will follow. However, when it comes to a neighbour, family member or work colleague, prepare for a rollercoaster ride.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

The new moon stimulates your cash zone, so take stock of your financial situation and initiate some smart strategies. And don’t forget to do an inventory of your inner wealth, which includes your self-esteem and core Capricorn values.

There are four planets transiting through your sign – the sun encourages creativity, the new moon signals a fresh cycle of growth, and the Mercury/Pluto conjunction boosts concentration. But Thursday’s sun/Uranus square could stir up a domestic drama.

The Mars/Neptune connection is wonderful for manifesting dreams – especially involving personal projects. Then the new moon lights up your spirituality zone on Friday night. Put aside some special ‘me time’ so you can meditate and re-calibrate.

BID TO STAMP OUT ‘BACKYARD CAMPSITES’ The REIQ believes the lack of social housing in the state is forcing vulnerable people to take up ‘grossly substandard’ rental accommodation.

he Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) is calling for a crackdown on the appalling black market of ‘backyard campsites’ for rent emerging in Queensland amid the rental crisis. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella says the state peak body for real estate professionals would like to see such practices urgently investigated and stamped out for the safety of the community. “It is highly disturbing to see reports that backyards, garages and storage spaces are being advertised for rent for people to reside in,” Ms Mercorella says. “We would like to see the full force of the law coming down on these opportunistic people. This black market of grossly substandard ‘sites for rent’ needs to be nipped in the bud.” Ms Mercorella says the vast majority (87.6 per cent) of rental properties in Queensland are represented by professional property managers. However, there is a small cohort of self-managed lessors and potentially many more flying under the regulatory radar. “Real estate professionals are required

by law to understand and comply with a raft or ever-changing and complex legislation and they take this responsibility very seriously,” she says. “These professionals are well educated by the peak body and understand legislative requirements surrounding tenancy agreements and minimum housing standards. Chances are that those deplorably looking to rent out backyards, garages and storage spaces for a quick buck are self-managed would-be ‘lessors’ who are either ignorant of the law or are

“When you consider the incredibly important work that real estate professionals are performing, and the complex legislative environment they operate within, it’s essential we set the right entry threshold requirements,” she says. “It’s also important that the ongoing education of real estate professionals is addressed with the long-overdue introduction of quality mandatory continuing professional development to maintain and broaden real estate practitioners’ knowledge, competence and compliance.” She says it is an absolutely shocking sign of insufficient social housing supply, that Queenslanders were seeking the relative safety of private backyards over camping in public parks. “Only 270 social houses were completed in our state last year, compared to a growing social housing waitlist of more than 43,000 Queenslanders,” she says. “Vulnerable people who are desperate for shelter, safety and security have been left to make impossible choices.”

blatantly thumbing their noses at it. “Even if your property is not represented by a real estate professional, there is really no excuse for noncompliance, given the Residential Tenancies Authority provide a suite of free educational resources about lessor obligations.” Ms Mercorella says it is an opportunity for the government to raise the bar for qualifications to be a real estate professional and to clean up the deficient education providers in the sector.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Okay, things are weird when my kelpie catches the wave of the day at Moffats on my standup after I fell off trying to move her to the centre of board. Imagine my surprise when I surfaced and looked around to find no board and no dog! The local lifeguards who witnessed it, drove me to the board 150 metres away with my kelpie still aboard. Was she scared I wondered? No, she was ready to go again. If only she could make coffee.
