Be Crocwise, Be Cancer Aware

Getting a health check could save your life. In this conversation with Black Star Radio's MJ, Trish from Gidgee Healing talks about the Be Crocwise, Be Cancer Aware campaign and why knowing your history, understanding your risks, and acting early are so important. Supported by rugby league legend Matt Bowen, the campaign encourages people to visit their local clinic, complete regular health checks, and never ignore the signs. The initiative also features limited-edition fishing shirts designed to spark conversations about cancer awareness and remind communities to stay on top of their health. From children's health checks through to adult screenings and 715 health assessments, the message is simple: know your risk, get checked, and look after yourself and your family.
