Public and private patients alike can now receive

Public and private patients alike can now receive radiation therapy treatments at a first-class facility right here in the Goulburn Valley. GenesisCare's Shepparton centre was officially opened today, and expects to treat up to 500 patients each year. ⁠
⁠
Current patient Stephen Finch said the local service provided by GenesisCare means having treatment no longer comes with the inconvenience of travelling to Bendigo, Albury or Melbourne. He went so far as to say the coffee machine, easy parking and friendly staff make it almost pleasurable.⁠
⁠
The Federal Government was proud to provide the $6.95 million advanced linear accelerator that is the centrepiece of the service, to help bring better healthcare closer to home for the people of Nicholls. ⁠

From March 1 this year, an extra 21,000 Australian

From March 1 this year, an extra 21,000 Australians with type 1 diabetes (or similar conditions) will have free access to a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device. This device is very important in helping sufferers more easily manage their condition, and avoid dangerous instances of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia. ⁠
⁠
This will give life-changing access to CGM to the many sufferers who previously found the device cost to be out of their reach at over $45 per week, and means approximately half of all Australian type 1 diabetes sufferers will now have free access to CGM. ⁠
⁠
The eligibility criteria for free access has also been streamlined. For more information visit: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/media-releases/15707⁠
