Supporting the Men You Love This Father's Day

Every year, Father's Day is an opportunity to celebrate the dads, grandfathers, partners, brothers, sons and father figures who have shaped our lives. It's also an important reminder to check in on the men we love - not just emotionally, but when it comes to their health.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, affecting nearly 30,000 Australian families every year. Raising awareness, encouraging early detection and supporting life-changing research can help improve outcomes for men across the country.

A Small Gesture Can Mean So Much

Whether you're celebrating Father's Day, sending love from afar or letting someone know you're thinking of them during a difficult time, flowers are a simple yet meaningful way to show you care.

A thoughtful bouquet can say:

• Thinking of you.
• Thank you for everything you've done.
• Wishing you strength and brighter days ahead.
• We're with you every step of the way.

Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can have the biggest impact.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: What You Need to Know

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is an important opportunity to encourage conversations around men's health, raise awareness of prostate cancer and remind Australians of the importance of early detection. Whether you're learning more for yourself or supporting someone you care about, understanding the facts can make all the difference.

What is prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small gland found only in men that forms part of the reproductive system. It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men, with thousands of Australians diagnosed each year.

What are the early signs of prostate cancer?

One of the challenges with prostate cancer is that it often has no noticeable symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, some men may experience:

• Changes in urination, such as needing to go more often.
• Difficulty starting or stopping urine flow.
• Blood in the urine or semen.
• Pain in the lower back, hips or pelvis.

These symptoms don't always mean prostate cancer, but they should never be ignored. If you notice any changes, it's important to speak with your GP.

Who is most at risk?

The risk of prostate cancer increases with age, particularly for men over 50. Men with a father, brother or close relative who has had prostate cancer may have a higher risk and should discuss earlier screening with their GP.

Can prostate cancer be detected early?

Yes. Early detection offers the best chance of successful treatment. Talking to your GP about your personal risk factors and whether prostate cancer testing is right for you is an important step towards protecting your health.

How can I support someone with prostate cancer?

Support comes in many forms. A simple phone call, offering practical help, attending appointments or sending flowers to brighten someone's day can remind someone they're not facing their journey alone. Small gestures of kindness often have the greatest impact.
