Check Your Vaccination Status: Austral­ians are being urged to check their diphthe­ria vaccination status as cases rise nation­wide. The largest proportion of new cases is in the 25-44 age range – typically where booster vaccines have been missed. Phar­macists are authorised to administer diph­theria‑containing vaccines, with age eligi­bility varying by state and territory. To find a pharmacy offering vaccination services, visit findapharmacy.com.au.

National Breast Cancer Foundation: GO PINK starts next month, and we need you to make a Pink Pledge, because every day, 56 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer. But you can help save lives by making a pledge to either Wear it, Shave it, or Colour it, to raise vital funds for

breast cancer research. Help achieve zero deaths from breast cancer. Register now at fundraise.nbcf.org.au/event/go-pink/home

They’ll also get to make their own ice cream and slushies, investigate surface tension, pop popcorn in a bag, and discov­er the water cycle in action. Entry is free. Friday, 5 June, 11am – 11:30am, Age of Fishes Museum.
