MOST AUSSIES SAY HOLIDAYS LEAVE THEM WRECKED
AUSTRALIANS might be clocking up the frequent-flyer points - with 23 per cent (5.2 million) planning an overseas trip and 57 per cent (13 million) a domestic holiday in the year ahead - but new research has revealed they’re coming home more exhausted than ever. A survey of an independent panel of 1009 Australians commissioned by travel insurance provider Insure&Go found 75 per cent admitted they finish a holiday feeling more tired than when they left. One in five (21%) confess they always need ‘a break after my break’, while only a quarter (24%) return genuinely refreshed. Sabotaging our valuable holiday time at the top of the list is poor sleep from red-eye flights, late nights and lumpy hotel mattresses, tops at 34 per cent. Closely followed by itinerary overload with 27 per cent admitting they cram so much in that their escape becomes an endurance event. Planning and organisation stress drags another 18 per cent into the fatigue zone, and the stress of work preventing 7 per cent of Aussies ability to switch off.

REV BILL CREWS OPENS A NEW CLINIC
A NEW purpose-built medical clinic in Blacktown has been officially opened by NSW Premier Chris Minns to provide care for western Sydney’s most vulnerable residents. The clinic marks a major expansion of The Reverend Bill Crews Foundation’s healthcare services which provides free, wraparound healthcare to people living with disability, mental illness, addiction and complex physical conditions. “This clinic is about giving people dignity, care, and hope,” said Reverend Bill Crews. “Often we see patients presenting without Medicare, secure housing or a stable income so for them this free service is a lifeline.” “Too many people in Western Sydney are going without basic medical treatment. We built this clinic so that no one is left behind.” The new clinic extends the Foundation’s renowned services beyond its Ashfield headquarters. The new clinic in Blacktown aims to service 2,400 medical and 1,300 dental appointments each year, and up to 3,000 social work intake cases.
