Every parent wants to give their child the healthiest possible start in life. One of the safest and most effective ways to protect them from serious infectious diseases is through routine childhood immunisation.
Vaccines have transformed child health worldwide, preventing millions of illnesses and saving countless lives each year. Diseases that once caused significant disability and death – such as polio, diphtheria, measles, and whooping cough – are now uncommon in Australia, largely because of high vaccination rates.
How vaccines work Vaccines help the body's immune system recognise and fight harmful bacteria and viruses without causing the disease itself. Once vaccinated, the immune system develops a memory of the infection, allowing it to respond quickly if the child is exposed in the future.
Why is it important to vaccinate on time? Children are most vulnerable during infancy and early childhood. The National Immunisation Program has designed schedules, so children receive protection when they need it most. Delaying vaccinations can leave children unprotected during this critical period and may increase the risk of disease transmission within the community.

Eumundi Rotary Club recently enjoyed a special visit from Livia Williams, its very own “Karate Kid”. Joining her were Sensei Peter Zarb, along with Livia’s mother, brother and grandfather.
As Livia is non-verbal, Sensei Peter delivered a handwritten message on her behalf expressing her gratitude for the club’s support through its 3-year commitment to the Karate Community Sponsorship Program.
Livia has been practising karate since she was 5yrs old and is currently working towards achieving her black belt. In her message she shared how karate has positively impacted her life.
“Mum first signed me up so I could interact more with the community,” said Livia. “It’s hard for me to be around groups of people, so karate helps me interact with others in a safe environment. It also encourages me to leave the house and feel more comfortable being part of a group.”
Livia’s story is a wonderful example of how community support can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Anyone interested in supporting initiatives like these and making a positive impact in the local community is encouraged to consider joining Eumundi Rotary. The club meets every Thursday at the Eumundi QCWA Hall at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start. Visit: eumundirotary.org.au. ... See MoreSee Less

Here in Australia, we have an incredible medical system to help women during childbirth: ambulances, medical professionals, midwives, neo-natal incubators, ICUs and pain-relief drugs.
Consider the situation in Kemabolo, a rural village east of PNG’s capital Port Moresby where none of these facilities or support networks exist. As a result, PNG faces one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the Pacific region.
To make a difference to women’s experience and baby’s survival, Friends of Kemabolo rallied together to prepare and pack Birthing Kits for this remote community.
Kilagi Nielsen, a Eumundi Rotary Club member from Kemabolo, described harrowing stories of the pain and suffering of women who experience the worst of childbirth: “These birthing kits are really going to make a difference. Thank you from my community for your care and love.”
