The Metro South Public Health Unit is reminding the public not to approach, touch or handle distressed or dead bats, with the current heatwave causing more bats to fall from trees.

Young cancer patient Toby Smart is a man of few words but a lot of heart, so when he wanted to thank his healthcare team at Princess Alexandra Hospital for their ongoing support he enlisted the help of his bush poet dad.

Princess Alexandra Hospital has helped a young bride smile on her wedding day with the aid of a prosthesis, after a two-year battle with cancer resulted in her losing an eye, and part of her cheek and mouth.
