For decades, bowel cancer has been viewed as a disease of later life – a condition that was quietly filed under “something to worry about after 50.” However that assumption is rapidly becoming outdated.
Across Australia and much of the world, bowel cancer is rising in people who until recently, wouldn’t have been considered at risk at all. Doctors are now seeing patients in their 20s, 30s and 40s walk into clinics with symptoms that in the past, might have been dismissed as stress, diet or minor digestive issues. Increasingly, those symptoms are turning out to be something far more serious.
A shift no one expected
Bowel cancer – also known as colorectal cancer – remains one of the most common cancers. What has changed is who is getting it. To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_141/29 ... See MoreSee Less

The national aged care reforms introduced on 1 November 2025 represented the most significant changes to the system in years. Their rollout has been challenging, leaving many people receiving care at home confused about higher costs and changes in how support is delivered. However, some help is at hand.
Council on the Ageing Queensland (COTA), in partnership with the Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN), is offering 2 free webinars on 1 and 30 June from 2-4pm. These sessions will explain what the Australian Govt’s recent announcement means for you, particularly the decision to classify services such as showering, dressing and continence management as government funded clinical care.
The webinars will also examine how the Integrated Assessment Tool algorithm has contributed to poor service allocation outcomes, and clarify how higher everyday living charges in residential aged care are intended to work for services such as in- room televisions, meal choices and Wi-Fi access.

In addition, OPAN is running a free webinar on 26 May from 1-2pm on Navigating Aged Care Complaints. A panel of experts will discuss your rights, the role of mediation, and how to request a review of a decision. Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance. Register at opan.org.au.
For those who prefer an in-person session, U3A in Noosa is devoting its Friday afternoon talk on 29 May to Navigating Aged Care and Support at Home. A presenter from aged-care provider Dovida will outline the differences between the Commonwealth Home Support program and the Support at Home Program, and provide advice on preparing for an aged care assessment. The talk begins at 1.30pm at the U3A noosa Auditorium, 64 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin. Visit: u3anoosa.com.au. ... See MoreSee Less

The Covid pandemic greatly disrupted the global dance industry. Studios, theatres and performance venues were forced to close, productions were cancelled and international tours abandoned. The result was a devastating financial loss for dancers, teachers, choreographers, agents, costume makers, musicians and all those invested in some way.
Business Research Insights (2 March 2026) reported that global dance class enrolments dropped to unprecedented lows following Covid. However, a recent resurgence has occurred, particularly with young boys moving from traditional sports to dance.
Parents report wide-ranging benefits from dance participation. These include improved physical fitness, mental development, emotional wellbeing, discipline, focus, coordination, creativity and self-expression. Dance also encourages healthy habits, reduces screen time, improves behaviour and sociability, and boosts self-confidence and academic engagement. For many families these outcomes contribute to a happier and more balanced home life. For boys who struggle with friendships at school, dance provides the opportunity to interact with new friends and understand that together the team can make magic, earn applause and pride.
