If your child has been squinting more than usual or struggling to see the whiteboard at school, it may not be just a passing concern. In fact, about one in four Australian children now show signs of myopia, according to recent health surveys. That number has climbed sharply in the past five years, making it a timely issue for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals alike.

Choosing Painters as Carefully as You Choose a Babysitter

14/07/2025

Let’s be honest—letting someone new into your home is always a big deal. Whether they’re caring for your kids or covering your kitchen in fresh paint, trust matters. As mums, we’ve got an instinct for spotting red flags, asking the right questions, and making sure our homes stay safe, clean, and calm. So why should hiring a painter feel any different from hiring a babysitter? It turns out, it’s not. Both jobs involve being in your space, around your family, and leaving things better than they found them. So when it’s time to update the living room, freshen up the…

Local Mum Urges Council to Address Childcare and Preschool Shortages
